Gunfire at Nagod’s Parsamaniya Garhi Injures Woman; Accused Arrested
Police say a long-running family dispute prompted the shooting, with investigators seizing a licensed .22-bore rifle as they examine attempted murder allegations.
Overview
- A confrontation inside Parsamaniya Garhi on Thursday left Yogita Singh with a bullet wound to the abdomen and she was operated on in Rewa; doctors say her condition is now stable under observation.
- Police say Sunita Singh Parihar fired a licensed .22-bore rifle, was detained and has been arrested, and officers registered a case that includes attempt-to-murder and abusive-conduct sections.
- Family members allege multiple rounds were fired and claim Rupendra Kumar Singh urged the shooter, but police say those allegations are under investigation and he has not been charged.
- Authorities deployed extra personnel around the fort, seized the weapon as evidence, and are probing motive, the sequence of events and the roles of those present at the scene.
- The incident has drawn local attention because the Nagod family holds social and political influence and highlights how privately held licensed firearms and family disputes can raise public-order and legal accountability questions.
