The incident led to a heated argument between the two sides, after which the upper caste men roughed up the groom and some of his family members. Three of bride’s family members —Satender, Anil and Harpal — who tried to save the ‘baraatis’ were brutally beaten up and had to be shifted to a hospital.
Dalit grooms are often beaten up for riding horses. Last year, a Dalit groom in Madhya Pradesh rode to his pre-wedding ceremony under heavy police protection after upper caste men allegedly warned him against mounting a horse. Another Dalit groom in Madhya Pradesh had to wear a helmet while riding a horse as upper caste people in the village threw stones at him.
