A wedding ‘mandap’ transformed into a battleground after the groom kissed her bride during varmala in Uttar Pradesh’s Hapur.
Furious over groom's act, the bride's family thrashed the groom's relatives on stage with sticks. Six people, including the bride's father, were injured in the clash.
The police were called and seven people from both families were detained. The injured were rushed to a local hospital.
The bride's family alleged the groom forcibly kissed her on stage while the groom said that the bride had insisted on being kissed after the varmala ceremony.
The families called off the wedding amidst the chaos and the baraat returned back. However the bride reached groom’s home next morning, and said that she will marry him only. Later elders intervened and agreed to reschedule the wedding for a later date.
