Lucknow: In a dramatic incident from Uttar Pradesh’s Bijnor, a wedding feast turned into a battleground as the guests from the bride and groom sides traded blows with each other allegedly over chicken fry.
At least 15 people from both sides were reportedly injured in the fight. The cops, who were called in when the issue intensified, had a tough time in settling down the chaos and restoring normalcy.
Some of the injured had to be admitted to hospital.
The incident happened at Teebri village in the district during a wedding on Sunday. The matter came to light after videos of the fight went viral on social media.
The fight is believed to have erupted when some guests from the groom’s side complained that they were being served ‘too less’ chicken fry.
Apparently irked over the complaint, those, looking after the arrangements, started serving plates completely full of chicken fry, which triggered a sharp reaction from the groom’s side.
As they objected, a few youths from both sides got engaged in a verbal duel which soon turned into scuffles and then a fight. Broken plates and chairs and littered food items bore testimony to the incident.
The police were called in to settle the fight.
Reports said that the wedding was solemnised in the presence of the police and senior Muslim clerics.
