Gunfire Erupts in Bagpat Rivalry: Three Injured as Old Feuds Resurface Over Drinks

A violent shootout in the Baraut region of Bagpat, Uttar Pradesh, has left three people injured following a heated clash between rival groups. The incident, triggered by a long-standing feud during a social gathering, has prompted a full police investigation into the recurring cycle of violence between the involved parties. Stay updated on the latest law and order news from Bagpat.

BAGPAT, UTTAR PRADESH – A long-standing rivalry took a violent turn in the Baraut Kotwali area of Bagpat late last night, leaving three individuals hospitalized after a flurry of gunfire shattered the peace of the neighborhood. What reportedly began as a social gathering involving alcohol quickly descended into chaos as deep-seated animosity between two local factions reignited, resulting in a brazen display of public violence that has left the local community on edge.

According to local reports and preliminary police findings, the altercation involved Gaurav and Nitin on one side and an individual identified as Ankit on the opposing side. Eyewitnesses suggest that the men were consuming alcohol together when a heated argument broke out, acting as a catalyst for the underlying tension that has plagued their relationship for some time. The situation escalated rapidly from verbal sparring to an armed confrontation, with multiple rounds fired in quick succession.

The history between these parties is marked by a cycle of violence; authorities noted that this is not the first instance of gunfire or physical hostility between these specific groups. Nitin’s father has formally alleged that the attack was a premeditated strike fueled by a "languishing grudge," suggesting that the social setting was merely the backdrop for a settled score. The victims, who sustained varying degrees of gunshot wounds, were rushed to a nearby medical facility where they are currently undergoing treatment.

Local law enforcement arrived at the scene shortly after the shooting to secure the area and collect forensic evidence. A formal investigation has been launched to determine the exact sequence of events and to apprehend those responsible for the discharge of illegal firearms. As police cordons remain in place and statements are recorded, the incident serves as a grim reminder of how unresolved personal vendettas, coupled with the influence of intoxicants, can erupt into life-threatening violence, challenging the administrative efforts to maintain law and order in the region.
