Meerut: A 36-year-old man was shot dead during celebratory firing at a wedding celebration in Khanpur village of Uttar Pradesh's Bulandshahr district on Thursday night, police said.

Locals said the bride's cousin, Sugreev Solanki, was firing shots into the air as part of the wedding rituals when a bullet hit Dharmendra Bhati, who was seated on a chair directly in front of him. After the incident, Solanki fled the spot.

Station House Officer (SHO) Balram Singh said that the postmortem was conducted on Friday. “On the basis of the complaint received, an FIR (First Information Report) for murder has been registered against Sugreev Singh. The absconding accused will be arrested soon,” the SHO said.

Bhati died while being taken to a hospital. “Someone from the baraat informed the police, who arrived and sent the body for postmortem,” an officer said.

Bhati, a resident of Ajaynagar, was an active BJP worker. He is survived by two daughters and a son.

His cousin, Pushpesh, alleged that the firing was not accidental and claimed that Solanki intentionally shot Bhati before fleeing.

BJP district president Vikas Chauhan and MLA Laxmi Raj Singh offered their condolences.
