Lucknow/IBNS: In a shocking tale, a woman dancer was seriously hurt when she was shot in her face by a man as she stopped dancing at a wedding ceremony in Uttar Pradesh’s Chitrakoot district, media reports said.
A video of the incident has gone viral on the internet.
A case has been filed in connection with the attack.
No arrests have been made so far.
The chilling incident, which took place on November 30 at Tikra village, came to the fore after a video of the shooting went viral. In the clip, the woman, identified as Hina, can be seen dancing on the stage with co-performers when a gun-wielding man shot at her, reported News 18.
“We were dancing when a man asked us to stop. We co-operated and even the music was stopped. We were waiting on the stage and suddenly the man (accused) aimed directly at Hina and fired a shot. She was hit in the chin and suffered serious injuries. It was just Hina who was hurt and no one else,” another woman, who was co-performing with the victim, told News18, alleging that the shooter is a relative of the Village Pradhan.
The victim was shifted to Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences in Lucknow for treatment, reports said.
ASP Chitrakoot, Balwant Chaudhary told the news channel, “We received the information in the night that during the ‘Baarat’ one person had opened fire and three people were injured in this. A case was registered in this case. We have ascertained the name and details of the accused. Soon he will be arrested.”
