Delhi: In a first, man arrested for bursting crackers at wedding

The case was registered on the basis of a complaint by sub-inspector Kunal Kishor, who

was on night patrolling duty at 10 pm when he heard some crackers outside Modi Bhawan, where the wedding was taking place.

“With the help of police constable Mukesh, they dispersed the crowd and found that Kumar had already burnt skyshot crackers and was burning more when the baaraat was arriving. He informed his Station House Officer and told him that Kumar was violating norms. The SHO asked him to take legal action,” a senior officer said.

On the directions of the L-G, the Delhi government had last week imposed a ban on firecrackers in the capital. Religious functions have been exempt from the ban, which will be reviewed at a meeting on November 15.
