India Today
A joyous wedding celebration in Hardoi turned tragic when a dispute over a DJ song escalated into a brutal road attack near the Superintendent of Police's residence.
What began as dancing under wedding lights ended in blood and twisted metal on a busy Hardoi road in Uttar Pradesh. A late-night dispute over a DJ song allegedly turned into a calculated road attack, with a young man rammed and dragged nearly 100 metres by a Scorpio close to the Superintendent of Police’s residence. He is now battling for his life.
The incident happened on the night of February 13 near Pihani Chungi, barely a short distance from the SP bungalow. The injured man, Shiva Mishra, was rushed to the medical college, where doctors say his condition remains critical.
According to police and family members, Shiva had gone to attend a wedding with his friend Mukesh Gupta. Music was playing, guests were dancing, and the ceremony was in full swing when tempers flared on the dance floor.
The accused, Raunak Yadav, son of village head Rajesh Yadav, allegedly arrived at the function in an inebriated state. He is accused of pushing Shiva off the DJ stage and hurling abuses at him.
When Shiva objected, Raunak allegedly issued an open threat to kill him before walking away.
What seemed like a heated exchange at a celebration was about to spill onto the streets.
