Amrit Kumar, a Scheduled Caste resident of village Madhkarimpur, was having his Ghudchadhi on Monday morning. Before the departure of the baraat, the groom and his family were going for deity worship. During this time, there was an altercation between the youth of Scheduled Caste and Rajput community over some issue.
