The incident occurred on Friday in the Nadanpur police station area. According to police, a family was celebrating a child’s birthday. Music played loudly as women, children, and youths danced together. During the celebration, a young man reportedly lost control in excitement and fired a gun into the air.
The bullet pierced the shoulder of a seven-year-old boy and struck a 30-year-old woman standing nearby. Panic gripped the gathering immediately after the firing. The accused fled the scene as family members rushed the injured to the Bari community health centre.
Due to their critical condition, doctors provided initial treatment and referred both victims to the district hospital. They are currently admitted to the surgical ward, where doctors continue to monitor them closely.
