Speaking to the media the eye witness and co-dancer said “While we were dancing a man asked us to stop. We co-operated and even the music was stopped. We were waiting on the stage and suddenly the man (accused) aimed directly at Hina and fired a shot. She was hit in the chin and suffered serious injuries. It was just Hina who was hurt and no one else.”

According to reports, the shooting happened at the wedding of the daughter of Village Pradhan Sudhir Singh. The groom’s side had reportedly invited dancers from Hamirpur for the function. When the women stopped their performance following a technical glitch, the accused warned her of firing if she stopped dancing.
