A bride was critically injured after a bullet hit her head during marriage celebrations at a marriage palace near Khai Pheme ki village here on Sunday, police said.

The incident took place when a few of the relatives were firing in the air at the wedding ceremony.

Baljinder Kaur (23), the daughter of Baj Singh of Hasham Toot village, was scheduled to tie the knot with one Gurpreet Singh of Sarhali kalan in Tarn Taran district at the marriage palace near Khai Pheme ki village.

Baljinder was rushed to a private hospital where her condition is stated to be critical.

Deputy Superintendent of Police Sukhwinder Singh said that they were scanning the CCTV footage.

Further investigations were underway, he added.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
