 [IST]
Chhatarpur, MP, Mar 13 (UNI) Three police personnel, including a town inspector (TI), were suspended after a canecharge here on a dalit wedding procession where a loud band was being played.

About twelve people, including the groom, women and children, were injured in last night's incident.

Incensed processionists allegedly assaulted Superintendent of Police Chanchal Shekhar, Town Inspector Arun Dubey and other police personnel. The processionists alleged the duo of raining canes on them.

The groom -- Prasad Basor's son Sohan Lal -- hailed from Budrakh village while the bride 'Babli' was a resident of bakayan Khidki in this district. The incident left the processionist feeling insulted and they blocked the Sagar-Kanpur National Highway while returning.

Deputy Inspector-General (Chhatarpur Range) Vijay Katariya, District Collector Ajatshatru and Bharatiya Janata Party leader Lalita Yadav reached the spot and regretted the canecharge.

TI Dubey, constables Mukesh and Rajesh were suspended. The situation simmered down and the processionists agreed to go ahead with the marriage. Eyewitnesses alleged the canecharge resulted in head injury to Lal's ten-year-old nephew Vinay, one Pancham Singh hurt his leg and a girl Roopsi sustained a severe hand injury.
