Lakhimpur Kheri: Youths going berserk at wedding parties is nothing new in India. There are times when thing go completely out of hand, ending up in violence.
This was what happened in Lakhimpur Kheri district in UP Friday night at a wedding, leaving a 23-year-old man dead following a dispute over a DJ song.
Guests were having a good time at the wedding of a local farmer's daughter, complete with DJ songs being played.
One of the guests asked the DJ to play a song on loop. However, some people objected to this, according to IANS.
Obviously guests were divided over the song selection. However, nobody was prepared for the unimaginable when they squabbled. One of the guests Veeru Lal 23 tried to mediate to sort out of the problem.
It was then he was hit with a stick subsequently falling unconscious.
He was taken to a private hospital where his condition further worsened and he was referred to a medical centre in Lucknow, according to IANS. However, he died on the way.
In another incident in Kerala's Kannur a couple of weeks before, a young man was killed after a crude bomb was hurled at him during a prank at a wedding.
26-year-old Jishnu died on the spot after the crude bomb his friends hurled to scare the wedding procession fell on his head.
