Lakhimpur Kheri: A 23-year-old man was beaten to death following a dispute over a song played by the DJ at a marriage function in Uttar Pradesh’s Lakhimpur Kheri District.

Three people, who were booked for murder, have been arrested.

This incident occurred on the night of Friday March 4 in Khamariya village, where guests were invited to the marriage ceremony of the daughter of a local farmer.

During the function, one of the guests asked the DJ to play a song on loop.

However, some people objected to this.

Soon, both parties entered into a squabble and when one of the guests, Veeru Lal (23) tried to act as a mediator, he was hit with a stick and fell unconscious.

He was taken to a private hospital where his condition further deteriorated and he was referred to a medical centre in Lucknow.

However, he died on the way.
