ARA: A 15-year-old girl sustained two bullet injuries while watching a clash between two groups from her balcony in Bhaluhipur locality of Ara town on Friday night.
The victim, identified as Alia Parween, daughter of one Md Salaluddin, rushed to her balcony upon hearing gunshots in the colony. As she looked down to see what was happening, she was struck by two bullets, one piercing through her chest and the other through her shoulder.
"Profuse bleeding has taken place due to gunshot injuries in her chest and shoulder. Her condition is very critical," said Dr Vikash Singh, who is treating Alia at a private hospital in Ara.
Additional superintendent of police (ASP) and Ara Sadar SDPO Parichay Kumar, along with Town police station SHO Devraj Rai, visited the spot. "As per our initial investigation, it is clear that the injured girl was not the actual target of the miscreants. She was accidentally shot while standing on the balcony of her house, observing the quarrel between two rival groups of anti-social elements from a nearby colony. The incident occurred around 9.30pm on Friday. Some of the accused have been identified and raids are on to arrest them," the ASP said.
