In the city of Munger, Bihar, a horrific incident unfolded when a bride was shot by a Bihar Police personnel just hours before her scheduled marriage.

The accused, identified as Aman Kumar, is currently posted in Patna. He committed this shocking act at a beauty parlour where the bride was getting ready for her wedding ceremony.


The Incident
The bride, Apoorva Kumari, a 26-year-old resident of Maheshpur, Tarapur Diara, arrived at a beauty parlour located at Kasturba Water Works in the Kasim Bazar police station area. Little did she know that this joyous occasion would turn into a nightmare. Aman Kumar, the accused, accompanied the bride to the parlour. While Apoorva was getting dressed, Aman stood behind her, giving the impression that he was a family member.

Tragedy Strikes
As the bride was preparing for her big day, Aman Kumar suddenly took out a pistol and fired a bullet at her from behind. The bullet pierced through her left shoulder, exiting from the right side of her chest. The parlour staff, taken aback by the sudden act of violence, intervened swiftly to prevent Aman from harming himself.

Staff's Account
The staff members at the beauty parlour recounted the harrowing incident. Aman Kumar loaded the bullet into the pistol and shot the bride from behind.
