On Tuesday evening, Golu Ahirwar, a 23-year-old Dalit groom, was violently assaulted during his wedding procession in Damoh, Madhya Pradesh, India. As he rode a horse, a group of local men objected and blocked the procession by parking a vehicle in a narrow lane. When the groom's family requested passage, the situation escalated into violence. Golu was pulled off the horse and beaten with sticks and clubs, despite being physically challenged. Video footage captured the chaos as the attackers targeted Golu and his relatives. His mother, Vidya Ahirwar, expressed her distress, stating that the wedding was ruined and that her daughter was also assaulted, with some of her gold jewelry going missing during the attack. Golu's sister, Manisha Ahirwar, reported being assaulted while trying to help. The police have taken action, registering a case under relevant sections of the law, including the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, highlighting the serious issue of caste-based violence in India.
