In Bulandshahr, UP, a member of the Indian Air Force and his father were reportedly attacked by people from a wedding procession. This occurred after they objected to loud drinking and disruptive behavior on the road.
The incident took place on Thursday evening in Jahangirabad’s New Pukhta market. A video of the attack has gone viral, showing the IAF officer and his father being assaulted. The officer, Pratham Singh, and his father, Jitendra, who works as a school principal, asked the wedding procession to make way on the busy road.
