In a bizarre incident, a bride was left battling for life after a jilted lover opened fire at her for rejecting his proposal and marrying another man. The bride was sitting on the stage at the wedding hall when the accused barged in and opened fire at the bride.

“Tu Bas Meri Hai. Meri Nahin Huyi Toh Kisi Aur Ki Bhi Hone Nahin Dunga,” the youth shouted as he opened fire at the bride. The heinous incident has been reported from Rawalpindi in neighbouring Pakistan. The accused has been identified as Owasi, 23, according to a report in Dawn.
