‘Promised Mutton, Served Chicken’: Massive Fight Erupts During Wedding Feast in Bihar | Video

A wedding celebration in Bihar’s Saharsa district went sideways, unexpectedly, after a dispute about the food served at the reception allegedly got out of hand and became violent. Police said that people from the groom’s family claimed they were told mutton would be served at the wedding feast, but instead, they said they were given chicken. The argument then quickly turned into a scuffle, during which sticks and rods were reportedly brought into it, and well, used. In the end, a number of members from the wedding crowd were hurt and taken to hospital for treatment. Police have started an investigation and added that more steps will be taken once complaints come in from both groups.

As soon as the feast actually began after the marriage, a dispute broke out. Then when the folks from the groom side protested, a few persons from the bride side attacked them instead.

In that scuffle, more than half a dozen persons from the groom side were injured during the fight where sticks and rods were used.
