The baraat of the groom was late by almost two hours in Katni, leading to a heated argument between the guests and the DJ team in a wedding celebration. The wedding party, as it was reported, arrived at the venue quite later than anticipated and the DJ and his crew would not play music on the grounds that they had their commitments and the lateness. What had started as a dispute over music soon degenerated into an angry face off between the baraatis and the DJ, which resulted in a tense argument, which quickly broke out of hand.

This incident was aggravated when the wedding party members purportedly attacked the DJ and his crew because of declining to play the music. First hand reports indicate that the baraatis mobbed and beat the crew making the celebration a scene. The DJ who was confronted, called the police, who came to his rescue. Nevertheless, rather than getting the situation under control the coming of the police only worsened the confrontation, as the tempers still flared at the grounds.

The police officers tried to get the situation under control by using lathi charge to get the crowd dispersed. During the confusion, it is said that the DJ too participated and beat up some of the baraatis using sticks. The violence has gone a step further when one of the guests is said to have assaulted a police officer using a metal object, which has left him with a bruised head. The incident placed the venue in turmoil, and it serves to underscore the fact that a delay in a wedding procession and an argument over music may very easily escalate into a major law and order incident.
