Lucknow: A 24-year-old man in Uttar Pradesh’s Lucknow was shot dead in the celebratory firing at a wedding-eve party.
Ayush Khare of Lucknow’s Papermill Colony was dancing at the party, when he was rushed to a local hospital with gunshot wound. The doctors pronounced him dead.
Khare, a dropout from Vidyant College, was invited by his friend Gautam Sonkar to his sister’s wedding on Friday.
At around 2.30 a.m., a youth named Tushar of Kaiserbagh Sabji Mandi reached the venue in an inebriated state.
Police said Tushar fired a few shots in the air, allegedly from a country-made pistol.
“One bullet penetrated the ribs of the victim who bled to death. His friends took the injured to the SPM civil hospital, where the doctors declared him dead,” Kaiserbagh SHO Ramendra Tiwari said.
ADCP, Central Zone, Manisha Singh said Tushar Vikram, is a history-sheeter and fled soon after the incident.
