A wedding celebration in Bihar’s Muzaffarpur district turned into a scene of panic late Monday night after celebratory gunfire allegedly left three people injured. The incident occurred during the welcome ceremony of a baraat (wedding procession) in Parsauni Jahangir village, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Sahebganj police station. The sound of gunshots triggered chaos at the venue, forcing wedding guests to rush to safety.
How the Incident Unfolded
According to police reports, the wedding procession of Kedar Tiwari, son of Devsharan Tiwari from Jagirha village in the East Champaran district, had arrived at the residence of Mukesh Pathak in Parsauni Jahangir village.
The gunfire took place during the traditional ‘darwaza lagna’ ceremony while the baraat was being welcomed and guests were participating in singing and dancing. Eyewitnesses stated that an individual opened fire in celebration, discharging around three rounds that ultimately injured three people.
Among the three victims is Anil Paswan, a tent house worker, who was rushed to the Shri Krishna Medical College and Hospital (SKMCH) for medical treatment.
Sahebganj SHO Sunil Kumar confirmed that the police received reports of three injuries resulting from the celebratory firing.
While Paswan has been identified, authorities are still working to verify the identities and treatment details of the remaining two individuals.
The Sahebganj police are actively questioning individuals associated with the wedding function to determine who fired the shots.
