In another incident from India in 2018, a groom who got shot hours before tying the knot completed the wedding ceremonies with the bullet lodged in his shoulder. According to the BBC, two men opened fire at the groom’s wedding procession. After being shot, the groom was immediately taken to the hospital. Though the doctors managed to stop the bleeding, they could not remove the bullet. So, the groom went back to the wedding ceremony and married his bride. Soon after, he returned to the hospital to get the bullet operated out. The groom alleged that he was shot with an “intention to kill”.
