A commotion broke out during a Dalit wedding procession in Khasgarhi village of Aligarh in Uttar Pradesh. The procession was going in front of the village headman’s house, but the Dabang headman blocked the way. When the groom’s family members and wedding guests protested, the chief husband and his sons beat him up. It was clearly stated that the wedding procession would not leave in front of his house. The situation reached a stage that the police had to be called. After this, the procession started in the presence of police.
In this regard, the police have registered a case against the minister’s husband and his four sons under relevant sections and have started investigation into the matter. The groom’s family told the police that he belonged to a Dalit family. Their wedding procession was leaving on Monday evening.

The climb took place in the presence of the police
