Dalit groom allegedly assaulted by 'upper caste' men in Agra: Police
Agra (UP), Apr 18 (PTI): A Dalit groom was allegedly assaulted by a group of "upper caste" men during a wedding procession in Agra's Nagla Talfi area, police said on Thursday.
The incident also left several members of the wedding party injured, they said.
According to the complaint lodged by Anita, a resident of Nagla Talfi, the incident took place on Wednesday evening when her daughter's wedding procession arrived from Mathura. The wedding was scheduled to take place later at a marriage home located a short distance from the village, it said.
As the procession moved along the road accompanied by DJ music, a group of men from "upper castes" allegedly arrived with sticks and batons and attacked the groom and several others, the complaint said.
