Police stated that they reached the spot after receiving a complaint about loud music being played during the wedding ceremony and attempted to maintain peace. During this time, an argument broke out between the two groups, which escalated into stone-pelting. Windows of vehicles were also smashed.

The affected Hindu family has alleged that due to the violent situation, they were forced to conclude the wedding ceremony prematurely.

Editorial perspectives

  • Muslims are disturbed by the music played during Hindu weddings, yet the same Muslims have been troubling Hindus for years by broadcasting the azaan. What about that ? Strict action is necessary against such aggressive Muslims !

  • Hindus feel that such a situation should not arise in Gujarat, especially when the BJP has been in power there for the past three decades !
