Mandi Tragedy: Man Accidentally Shoots Himself While Trying to Scare Away Monkeys
Mandi, May 20:
A tragic and shocking incident unfolded in Nehra village of Syang panchayat under Mandi’s Sadar police station, where a man accidentally lost his life while trying to chase away monkeys from his fields. The victim, 43-year-old Khoob Ram, died on the spot after a gun he was loading accidentally discharged, striking him in the face.
According to initial reports, Khoob Ram, son of Shobha Ram, was attempting to load his father’s firearm on Sunday afternoon to scare away a group of monkeys that had been damaging crops. During the process, the trigger was unintentionally pulled, causing the gun to fire. The bullet struck him directly in the face, leading to his immediate death.
Upon receiving the information, Sadar SHO Deshraj reached the scene with his team. The body was taken into custody and sent to Mandi Zonal Hospital for post-mortem. A team from the Regional Forensic Science Laboratory (RFSL) also arrived at the location to collect evidence.
Khoob Ram, a daily-wage laborer, was the sole breadwinner for his family and leaves behind two young children. His sudden death has plunged his family—and the entire village—into deep grief.
SHO Deshraj confirmed the incident and stated that forensic analysis is being conducted to thoroughly examine the circumstances of the accident. The exact cause of death will be confirmed following the post-mortem and forensic reports.
