Groom Shot in Head During Wedding

[j.m@talk]

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - An Indian groom is in a coma in hospital after he was accidentally shot in the head by a friend who was celebrating the wedding by firing into the air, police said on Tuesday.
Software engineer Tapesh Kumar Singh, 22, was sitting next to his bride when his friend shot him with a revolver at the alcohol-laden wedding bash on the outskirts of New Delhi on Sunday, Superintendent of Police Vijay Bhushan said.

"It was a tragic accident and very unusual. The whole incident was filmed on video and we are using this as evidence," Bhushan told Reuters.

Singh's friend, who had been firing shots in the air to celebrate the wedding, has been arrested for causing grievous injury by negligence, Bhushan said.

Some people in India, especially in the country's north, fire in the air to celebrate weddings or the birth of a son.

How come India allows its citizens to own guns? I thought guns are not allowed to be owned by citizens? My country forbids people to own guns and other types of weapons. Even ammo are not allowed! That's why most of the robberies are done by using choppers and toy guns.

Illegal ownership of guns, explosives and ammos will lead to death sentence (hanging).

Marriage is like a three ring circus. First comes the engagement ring, then the wedding ring, and after that the suffering. He's in a better place now.

Maybe the cowboys were right? In the movies, they kept the guns and alcohol away from the Indians.
