It so happened that the girl’s side was distributing dates to the baaratis or those from the groom’s side. However, someone from the bride’s side tried to steal a packet of dates.
This incensed the people from the bride’s side so much that they thrashed the person who stole the packet of dates. Slowly, the fight grew and people from both sides exchanged punches and blows.
The viral video shows the baraatis, or invitees, from the groom’s side getting thrashed by the people belonging to the bride’s side.
