add custom validation message for custom validation in laravel 5.3 not working

Question

I am trying to add a custom validation with custom validation message and validation is working well. Now the problem is when that validation fails i want the message for that validation to be showed as validation error but some unexpected message is shown.

public function rules()
{
    Validator::extend('alreadyAddedAsBeneficiary', function ($attribute, $value, $parameters, $validator) {


        if ($event = Event::where('event_code', $this->request->get('event_id'))->first()) {

            if ($user = User::where('email', $this->request->get('email'))->first()) {

                if ($event->beneficiary()->where('user_id', $user->id)->count() > 0)
                    return false;

                return true;

            }

        }

        AppHelper::unAuthorizedAccess(AppHelper::getErrorCode('invalid-request'));

    });

    return [
        'first_name' => 'required|max:225|min:1',
        'middle_name' => 'max:225',
        'last_name' => 'max:225',
        'email' => 'required|email|unique:users,email|max:255|alreadyAddedAsBeneficiary',
        'password' => 'required|max:60',
    ];
}

public function messages()
{
    return [
        'email.unique' => 'User already exist in system.',
        'email.alreadyAddedAsBeneficiary' => 'This user is already added as beneficiary.'
    ];
}

This message is showing. But i was expecting for "This user is already added as beneficiary."

Here is the error message generated

'email' => 'alreadyAddedAsBeneficiary|required|email|unique:users,email|max:255', didn't work right? — online Thomas

In this example, if the required rule on the title attribute fails, the unique rule will not be checked. Rules will be validated in the order they are assigned. Is what the site says btw. laravel.com/docs/5.4/validation — online Thomas

Found the solution, i changed the validation rule ie. alreadyAddedAsBeneficiary to already_added_as_beneficiary and now it is working.
