The groom registered a case against the assailants for gatecrashing the wedding and roughing him up, GeoTV reported.
The incident took place within the remit of Taimuria police station in Block L of North Nazimabad.
According to police, both the parties have been advised to approach the court dealing with civil cases, adding that they have no reason to keep the groom in custody.

Meanwhile, the wife claimed that her husband had secretly contracted a second marriage in 2018 and was now caught attempting a third marriage in a similar manner.
Under the Muslim Family Laws Ordinance 1961, a written permission is required from the first wife before tying the knot for a second time.
