In a disturbing incident in Damoh, Madhya Pradesh, a 23-year-old Dalit groom named Golu Ahirwar was dragged off his horse and beaten during his wedding procession. The attack occurred when a group of local men objected to him riding through the village, claiming such a procession was 'not meant for people like us.' Witnesses reported that a vehicle was deliberately parked to block the procession's path, escalating tensions. Despite being physically challenged, Ahirwar was assaulted with sticks and clubs, and his family members were also attacked, with some jewelry reportedly stolen during the chaos. The police have registered a case under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and are actively searching for the assailants. A police presence has been established in the village to ensure the wedding can proceed without further incident. Following a medical examination, Ahirwar continued to complete his wedding rituals in Chhatarpur district.
