A shocking incident occurred in Buxar district, Bihar, where an obsessive suitor crossed all limits of decency during a wedding celebration. The bride, Aarti Kumari, was performing traditional rituals on stage when the assailant, Dinbandhu Mallah, who had concealed his face, suddenly climbed onto the platform and shot her with a homemade firearm. The incident unfolded amidst a lively wedding atmosphere, causing chaos among the guests as Aarti fell to the ground, bleeding from her injuries.

The incident took place when the wedding procession arrived from Ballia, Uttar Pradesh, and both the groom and the 18-year-old bride were participating in the celebrations. Dinbandhu, who lived nearby, had a history of expressing his unrequited love for Aarti and was reportedly furious about her impending marriage to someone else. According to her family, he had previously threatened them, stating that if Aarti could not be his, she would not belong to anyone else either.

Authorities are now searching for Dinbandhu as he escaped the scene after committing the crime, taking advantage of the ensuing chaos. This incident has sparked outrage and highlighted the darker side of obsessive love, raising questions about domestic security and the need for awareness regarding harassment and violence against women in India.
