Deadly Rampage in Patna: Driver Plows Into Wedding Procession After Dance Dispute
A wedding celebration in Patna’s Barh subdivision turned fatal after a driver intentionally crushed several people with his vehicle following a dispute over dancing. One man, Shankar Paswan, was killed and many others injured during the rampage in Kashichak village. The driver fled the scene after the attack, which occurred under the influence of alcohol near Deep Nagar police station.
The incident originated when a group from Bedhna village traveled to Kashichak village, located within the jurisdictional limits of the Deep Nagar police station, to participate in a marriage ceremony. During the festivities, a heated verbal altercation erupted between the wedding guests and local residents regarding dancing. Amidst the escalating tension, several individuals physically assaulted the driver accompanying the wedding party, inflicting a severe head injury. Although guests initially managed to intervene and pacify the driver and his associates, the situation took a lethal turn when the driver suddenly drove his vehicle into an open field.
Witnesses described a terrifying sequence of events as the driver operated the vehicle erratically, circling the grounds three to four times and systematically mowing down those in his path. Five to six individuals were crushed under the wheels during the rampage. Among them was Shankar Paswan, a resident of Lakhisarai district who had been visiting his in-laws in Bedhna village to attend the wedding. Paswan succumbed to his extensive injuries while being rushed to the hospital. Relatives of the deceased have alleged that all parties involved in the violent episode were under the influence of alcohol. Following the fatal assault, the driver fled the scene with the vehicle and remains at large.
This shocking act of vehicular violence has transformed a communal celebration into a site of mourning and legal scrutiny. The deliberate nature of the attack, coupled with allegations of intoxication and the prior physical assault on the driver, underscores a volatile breakdown of order within the Deep Nagar police station area. As the injured struggle for recovery in Bihar Sharif, the incident serves as a grim reminder of how minor social disputes can escalate into fatal atrocities, leaving families devastated and a community demanding justice for the victims of this senseless rampage.as
