A 26-year-old Army jawan serving as the President's Bodyguard was shot in the head during a dispute over firecrackers in Uttar Pradesh's Baghpat district on Diwali night. Saurabh Tomar had returned to his village, Gopalpur Khadana, on leave to celebrate the festival with his family. Police said an argument broke out after neighbours Dheeraj and Monu objected to the bursting of firecrackers. Dheeraj allegedly fired a country-made pistol, hitting Tomar in the head. Doctors performed surgery to remove the bullet, and his condition is now stable. Police have registered an attempt-to-murder case against the two accused. (PC: The Indian Express)
