According to a report by NDTV published on Saturday, the events took place in Tarkulwa village of Deoria, where the wedding guests had arrived at a local marriage hall. One of the participants, who was drunk, had wandered away from the wedding group and knocked on the door of a house around midnight. Mistaking him for a thief due to a recent burglary in the area, residents raised an alarm, shouting "thief, thief."

A mob gathered quickly and tied the man to an electric pole, and subjected him to a violent beating with kicks and punches, ignoring his protests, added the report. Several bystanders recorded the assault and later shared the videos online, sparking outrage.
