Rampur Lawyer and Opponent Hospitalized Following Violent Altercation and Gunfire

A violent dispute in Rampur, Uttar Pradesh, escalated into a shooting involving local advocate Farooq and an individual named Asghar.

A violent confrontation in Rampur escalated into a shooting incident on Friday, leaving a local advocate and his adversary seriously injured. The altercation, which was captured on a now-viral video, has sent shockwaves through the community, prompting an immediate police investigation into the circumstances surrounding the clash.

The incident reportedly originated from an ongoing dispute between two individuals, identified as Asghar and Gausia. According to local sources, the situation intensified when Farooq, a practicing lawyer, arrived at the scene after being summoned by his wife. Seeking to intervene in the escalating tension, Farooq reportedly entered Asghar’s office, where a physical struggle ensued. Witnesses and preliminary reports suggest that during the melee, Farooq and an associate allegedly overpowered Asghar, leading to a desperate scramble for control.

In the heat of the scuffle, a firearm was discharged. Asghar, who had reportedly brandished a pistol in what he claimed was an act of self-defense, was caught in the middle of the grappling match when the weapon went off. The gunfire struck both Farooq and Asghar, bringing a bloody end to the immediate confrontation. Local authorities were quickly alerted to the scene, and both men were transported to a nearby medical facility, where they are currently undergoing treatment for their injuries.

The Rampur police have officially launched a probe into the matter, reviewing the digital evidence provided by the viral footage to establish a precise timeline of events. While the investigation is in its early stages, the incident highlights the volatile nature of local disputes when they bypass legal mediation and descend into physical violence. As both parties remain under medical supervision, law enforcement officials are expected to record formal statements to determine the legal ramifications for those involved in the struggle and the subsequent discharge of the firearm.
