Ghaziabad (Uttar Pradesh): The video of a violent fight at a wedding hall in Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad emerged on Sunday, as Samajwadi Party chief and former UP CM Akhilesh Yadav tweeted out a viral video of the same. Ghaziabad Police on Sunday took cognizance of the chaotic beatdown which took place late on Saturday night, after a dispute broke out between weddinggoers and the hall owner over the playing of music.
What followed shortly after can be termed mayhem, with several men seen repeatedly striking those present at the ceremony with sticks. The clip opens with a panicked woman asking someone to stop, while small patches of blood seen strewn around the floor. Subsequently, two men are seen going after a boy, and landing multiple shots on his body. "BJP has conducted the last rites of law and order in UP", the SP leader captioned in video in Hindi.
