Gurdaspur : A case was filed against six people for allegedly assaulting a Dalit groom and his family members, who they were on their way to the marriage ceremony, in Khuthi village, police said today.

The incident took place when the family along with guests was about to leave for Jalandhar for the jawan's marriage, police said.
