The incident showed carelessness on the couple’s behalf as anyone from the family, friends and children could have lost their lives.
Netizens were infuriated by their actions and called for action against those involved.
It is pertinent that hundreds of people get killed because of aerial firing during different functions such as weddings, New Year and celebrating cricket match victories.

The incident occurred in the Meerut area of India’s Uttar Pradesh state, where 22-year-old Iram cancelled the wedding with Shahzad after her uncle was allegedly injured in a celebratory firing by the groom’s guests.
“How can I marry him? If his family is behaving this way in front of my whole family, how will they behave when I will be alone with them at their place?” Iram was quoted as saying by local media outlets.
Soon after the girl announced her decision, her family members broke the groom’s car, thrashed his relatives, and held them hostage for some time.
The bride’s uncle has been admitted to a hospital where his condition is said to be stable.
