In a sequence of events more common in trigger-happy parts of the country than in Haridwar district, a group of drunk guests shot dead the father of the groom after being denied their choice of Bollywood songs at a wedding.
The incident occurred late on Friday night at Sakoti village near Manglaur in Haridwar district. A group of inebriated youths from the village allegedly ordered the DJ at the wedding venue to play more music so they could continue dancing. However, Vishwas Ram, the groom's father, intervened and citing the late hour asked the DJ to stop the music so that the marriage rituals could begin. The youths, led by Teluram, then got into a heated argument with Ram.
When the groom's family gathered in support of Ram, one of the youths allegedly whipped out a pistol and asked the DJ to play music of their choice at gunpoint. Meanwhile, the youths carried out a heated argument with the groom's family members and allegedly exchanged threats.
