Vasai Wedding Brawl Over Dowry Triggers Police Probe With Cross-Complaints

Police review viral footage in a probe with cross-complaints, including a POCSO case.

Overview

  • A wedding at the Swatantryaveer Savarkar Sports Complex in Vasai West descended into a fight after a dowry dispute between the two families.
  • Guests traded blows as plastic chairs flew in the pavilion, and several people were injured and sent for medical treatment.
  • Manikpur police registered cases from both sides, with the bride’s family filing a complaint under the POCSO Act, which covers sexual offences against children.
  • Officers cited the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for the case, detained some suspects for questioning, and recorded statements from witnesses.
  • Investigators are analyzing a live video from the scene and other digital evidence, a step that could help identify individual attackers and shape charges in what police say is a dowry-linked clash.
