In the village of Nipaniyan Kala, located under the jurisdiction of Rudhauli police station, a festive wedding procession turned tragic late in the evening. The ceremony, which was meant to celebrate the union of Shailendra Kumar, son of Vijaybhan Upadhyay from Ganeshpur in the Bandhua area of Walterganj police station in Basti district, was held at the residence of Rudranarayan Mishra. As the group gathered for the door worship ceremony, an altercation broke out. This dispute began when some attendees and local villagers clashed over the choice of music being played by the DJ, which included politically charged and obscene songs.
