Muzaffarnagar: Eight persons of a Dalit marriage party were injured when they were attacked by some locals at Chapar village in the district, police said today.
The incident took place last night when a marriage procession from Saharanpur district was on its way to the bride's place in the village.
The trouble broke out when a motorcycle entered into the procession, to which members of the party objected.
The motorcycle riders then called their friends and beat the members of the procession injuring eight of them, police said.
"A case has been registered against eight people in this connection," they said adding no arrest has been made so far.
The injured have been admitted to a hospital, where condition of three-Suraj Bhan, Raj Kumar and Dhyan Singh-is said to be critical.

On April 15, 18 people of a Dalit marriage party were injured when a bus in which they were travelling was attacked by members of another community over a trivial issue at Kheda Hatana village in Baghpat district.
