Bilaspur: A minor boy fired a licensed rifle during a family feud while quoting famous dialogue from movie Pushpa, injuring two people with bullet splinters in Chhattisgarh's Bilaspur.
According to police, the incident occurred on December 13 around 9 PM. The minor uttered the famous dialogue from the 2021 movie Pushpa: The Rise 'Pushpa naam sunke flower samjhe kya? Flower nahi, fire hai mai' before pulling the trigger.
In the movie, the lead actor Allu Arjun also fires a rifle in the scene where he narrates the line. Police officials in Chhattisgarh said that an old dispute between the minor's family and his uncle led to a heated argument on the evening of December 13.
