Cops confirmed the victim as Babu Lal Yadav, 35, who said goodbye and traveled halfway across the country to attend his pal’s wedding.

Terrifying footage shows Madheshia getting quite excited as she hands over the gun and fires it in celebration.

The groom fired a shot into the air before getting ready to fire another as he allegedly accidentally pointed the gun at his friend and pulled the trigger.
