The incident took place on Sunday night after an argument between both of them over the choice of song. The victim and the accused reportedly had a verbal spat on playing a song of their choice. While the near and dear ones sorted it out on the spot, little did they know that the groom’s part would take an extreme step and kill the other.

Life taken for a DJ song

Playing a song of one’s choice at a wedding is something everyone loves. A bride is quite particular about the song being played during her entry, a groom loves to choose songs for the joyful dance when the baraat reaches its destination. Disagreement, verbal spat or scuffle have been heard when it comes to choice of songs being played but what happened in Sultanpur has jolted both the houses of the bride and the groom. The guest from the groom’s side had reportedly slit the throat of the guest from the bride’s side who was a close friend of the bride’s brother.

Knife attack to avenge ‘dishonour’

As per the police reports, this incident took place around eight on Sunday night when the victim Uttam Yadav (who is now deceased) was engaged in a verbal spat with the accused over playing a song on DJ.
