The blockade was cleared after the assurance by police.
The deceased's father Harishchandra Singh, told the police that he was his only son studying in an ITI.
According to reporters, during the marriage ceremony of Sheshnath Singh's daughter, when the bride's cousin Rohit Singh stopped the DJ after midnight, some people of the 'baraat' started creating a ruckus.
Rohit called the police, who calmed them down.

The family members rushed him to a hospital where doctors declared him dead.
Rohit's family claimed that the assailants were the same who had created ruckus after the DJ was stopped.
