According to this horrific video that is currently going viral online, an Indian groom inadvertently shot a member of his wedding party to death during a peculiar ceremonial practise gone wrong.

According to Pratap Singh, police superintendent of the Sonbhadra Amrendra, Uttar Pradesh, area, “A person who is serving in the army, known as Babu Lal Yadav, died after being shot during the celebratory firing by the groom — Manish Madheshia.” “The pistol has also been seized and the probe is underway.”

The startling video shows Madheshia receiving a gun on his special day in front of a crowd in northern India, according to United News of India on Tuesday.

A man wearing a white T-shirt is injured by the gun that the soon-to-be husband mistakenly discharges after lifting it in the air and appearing to be ready to fire off some celebratory bullets.

The 35-year-old guest, Madheshia’s buddy Yadav, is shown falling to the ground as witnesses gasp in horror.

Yadav was then taken to the hospital but, according to Jam Press, died from his injuries there. The victim was an Indian army soldier who got special authorization to cross the nation to attend his friend’s wedding.

Police sources told local media that Madheshia was later detained and charged in relation to the death of his companion. The pistol, which was reportedly a present from Yadav to the groom, was also seized, he continued.
