Popular Bhojpuri folk singer Nisha Upadhyay has been brought to Max Hospital in Patna after being shot during a celebratory gunfire, according to the report.  The incident happened at Bihar’s Chapra where Nisha was performing a live performance at a cultural event. Reportedly, the singer’s left thigh has been injured.

According to reports, the incident happened during Yagnopavit, a rite where the Brahmans wear the sacred thread. There is a video online showing Nisha playing the drums minutes before the firing started at the occasion. She appears to be in good health.

The local police officer said, they had received the information about the incident but there were no written complaints filed about it. The police officer added, they have started the investigation and are looking into the matter that who was engaged in the shooting and how the rounds were fired.

Celebratory gunfire is incorrect, and everyone should be aware of that, said Art and Culture Minister Jitendra Kumar Rai. He also added, people need to know that celebratory gunfire, even with legal firearms, at public events, houses of worship, weddings, or other celebrations is illegal.

However, the Lok Sabha has approved the Arms (Amendment) Bill, 2019, which was led by the home minister Amit Shah. As per the bill, it guarantees that individuals who use firearms carelessly or hastily, including in celebratory shooting, would be penalised with up to two years in prison, a fine up to ₹1 lakh, or both.

As per the latest information, Nisha’s health is stable. The singer is a resident of Gaur Basant village in Saran, Bihar, and she frequently performs at different cultural events in the city. Le Le Aaaye Coca Cola, Navkar Mantra, Dholida Dhol Re Vagad, and Hasi Hasi Jaan Marela are a few of her best-known songs.

Auto rides, also known as tuk-tuks or three-wheelers, are a popular mode of transportation in India. These compact, motorized vehicles offer a fun and unique way to explore cities and towns while experiencing the local culture, but can you ever Imagine yourself lying on the roof of the auto-rickshaw and enjoying its ride?

A video is now viral on the internet, where a man can be seen taking up a stunt that has shocked the internet.

In the viral video, a man from Chikohra, Patna can be seen, in an attempt to make his auto ride more thrilling and interesting, laid on the rooftop of a auto-rickshaw.

This shocking video has been a talking point on the internet. Unfortunately, this is not the first time that we are witnessing such incident, a few months back, on the festival of Holi, a video from Lucknow was spread across the internet, where a drunk man was seen dancing on the rooftop of a auto-rickshaw. 

At the current time, when cases of road accidents leading to death in India recorded very high, most of us forget to care about the rules and regulations that we must follow when we are on the roads. The prime example of the same is that most of the riders/drivers don’t care to wear helmets or use seat belts while driving.  While, many break the rules having any fear of getting caught or punished.

According to the report by the National Crime Bureau ( NCRB ), India witnessed around 1.5 lakh road fatalities in 2018 alone which increased to 4,37,396 in 2019, a surge of around 3 lakh deaths due to accidents in a year. However the number decreased substantially in pandemic hit 2020.

The viral video is one such example and many such incidents occurred in the past are the examples of the ignorance and negligence of people towards road safety and their self safety.
