Celebratory firing at cricketer Ravindra Jadeja's marriage

April 17, 2016 20:22

Cricketer Ravindra Jadeja on Sunday tied the nuptial knot with Riva Solanki in Rajkot in a ceremony where a reveller opened celebratory firing in the air, prompting the police to launch an inquiry.

As the marriage procession was moving, apparently one of Jadeja's relatives, who was within a few feet of the horse-mounted cricketer, was seen firing in the air from his revolver.

No one was injured, but cops arriving at the scene said it's illegal to use even licensed firearms except in cases of self-defence.

"We have initiated inquiry to find if the revolver used was licenced or not. We will decide on taking action after investigation," said Rajkot (Rural) Superintendent of Police Antrip Sood.
