MP: Bride Attacked As Groom Refuses Money To Wedding Guests To Buy Alcohol

Chaos erupted in Madhya Pradesh’s Gwalior district on Tuesday night, as a wedding ceremony descended into violence over a dispute involving liquor, leaving several members of the groom’s family injured. According to police, the attackers not only assaulted the family but also allegedly looted household items and cash during the rampage.

Mahesh Jatav, the groom and a resident of the village, was in the middle of his wedding celebrations when tensions erupted. A group of neighbours reportedly demanded alcohol during the festivities, triggering a heated argument.

When the groom refused to arrange or finance liquor, the disagreement quickly escalated into a violent confrontation, turning the wedding venue into a battleground.

The groom’s mother, Sheela, revealed that the trouble began shortly after the bride arrived and the wedding rituals were underway. She alleged that a few neighbours approached her son, demanding money to purchase liquor.

When the demand was refused, the group allegedly launched a brutal attack on the groom and his family members. She further claimed that when she tried to intervene, the neighbours also assaulted her, her husband and even the bride.
