Uttar Pradesh: Groom Ends Up Killing Friend In Celebratory Gunfire During Wedding
The groom was firing as part of his wedding celebrations during which a bullet hit his friend, who died during treatment.
Indian weddings are nothing short of a Bollywood movie. There is a lot of entertainment and there sure are a lot of over-the-top ways by which people celebrate getting married.
One quite common and pretty dangerous way in which people celebrate getting married is by firing guns and rifles in the air. Things like these can only be seen in an Indian wedding. While the firing of guns may seem pretty cool, it had very heavy repercussions at one of the weddings.
The groom killed his friend in celebratory firing at his wedding.
The incident occurred in the Brahmnagar area of Sonbhadra district. It was also recorded on camera.
According to an NDTV report, in the 12-second video clip, the groom - Manish Madheshia - was seen on a chariot with those parts of the wedding procession standing around him. The groom was firing as part of celebrations during which a bullet hit his friend Babu Lal Yadav, an Army jawan. The gun used by the groom belonged to Yadav.
A video of the same was shared by a Twitter user Piyush Rai. He wrote, "In UP's Sonbhadra, groom Manish Madheshia killed his friend and Army Jawan Babu Lal Yadav after the pistol used for celebratory fire during wedding procession accidentally fired. The pistol belonged to the deceased Army jawan."
