Summary:
In fact, the Dalit wedding was conducted in a peaceful manner afterwards,” the SSP said.Contracting the SSP’s claim, Harvendar Singh, the Dalit bridegroom, said, “Was he there? In retaliation, Dalit men, too, attacked a few Thakurs. Probe is underway.”“Men from both the castes did engage in a clash on Wednesday night, after heavily inebriated Thakur men pelted stones on the wedding procession of a Dalit. However, the Dalit groom’s claim that he was forced to get down from the horse and was made to walk to wedding venue is incorrect. The Thakur men pelted stones at me and my eight-year-old nephew Parvesh, who sat beside me on the horse.”According to police, there were two weddings in the district’s Asrauli village on Wednesday..
