Patna, Bihar: A shocking incident from Bihar’s capital has sparked widespread outrage after a video of celebratory firing during a wedding ritual surfaced online. The video, now viral across social media platforms, shows a group of young men openly firing multiple rounds from guns in front of bar dancers during a dance event organized at a tilak ceremony. The reckless act created panic in the area and has raised serious concerns over law and order as well as the rising culture of gun misuse at social events.

The Incident Took Place in Naubatpur, Patna

According to reports, the firing occurred on Sunday night at Ramcharan Chatani village under Naubatpur Police Station in Patna district. The video clip shows bar dancers performing to a popular Bhojpuri song when several youths stepped forward holding country-made pistols and rifles. They fired several rounds into the air while standing right in front of the performing dancers.

The visuals show the youth celebrating aggressively, waving weapons and firing rapidly without concern for the crowd’s safety. As gunshots echoed, fear gripped the audience, and chaos erupted with people seen running for cover.

Panic in the Area

Residents said the sound of nonstop gunfire created a tense atmosphere in the locality late into the night. Many feared that someone might get injured due to the indiscriminate shooting at close range. Fortunately, no casualties have been reported so far, but locals say the situation could have turned tragic at any moment.

The viral clip shows several young men proudly recording videos on their phones as gunshots continue, while the dancers nervously attempt to continue performing. The reckless celebration has sparked shock and anger among viewers online.

Video Goes Viral, Authorities Alerted

The video has been widely shared on social media, prompting demands for strict legal action. While news organizations have stated they do not verify the authenticity of the footage, the clip has nevertheless reached a massive audience.

Police are reportedly scanning the viral video and are expected to identify those involved through the footage. According to sources, an investigation may soon be launched to determine how firearms were brought to the venue despite state restrictions.

Growing Concern Over Gun Misuse in Celebrations

Such incidents of celebratory firing during weddings and traditional functions have become alarmingly frequent in North India. Despite legal restrictions, gun culture continues to thrive, often leading to fatal outcomes.

In several past cases, celebratory shoots have resulted in:

• Injury to dancers and guests standing close to the shooters

• Accidental deaths caused by bullets striking attendees

• Arrests and cases under the Arms Act

Police officials and social activists have repeatedly appealed to the public to stop this dangerous practice and celebrate responsibly.
