The victim also had to get police protection to save himself from the upper caste Hindus.
Reports also suggest that the groom, Pawan Malviya's, family had been injured during the incident.
However, according toNDTV, the two warring sides managed to reach a consensus.
"As part of what district officials described as a compromise between the two sides, the upper caste families agreed to keep their doors shut so they would not have to watch a Dalit groom on a horse,"reportedNDTV.
The police arrested 27 people for the stone pelting.
NDTVquoteda senior police officer as saying, "It is a dispute between two groups in the Nirun village. The procession was finally allowed to move peacefully and without incident. We have registered a case against around 70 people."
