A 30-year-old man died after he was hit by a stray bullet allegedly during celebratory firing at a wedding ceremony in North West Delhi, police said today.
The incident occurred last night when the victim, Ranbir Singh, along with a large number of guests was walking up to the bride's house in a procession at Nathupura village when
one of the revellers fired a celebratory shot, they said.
