On Saturday in Bakhtiyarpur, Patna, a dispute between a customer named Pramod Kumar and a security guard at Bank of Baroda escalated into a chaotic situation when the guard opened fire from his service gun. As a result of the firing, a woman was injured by shrapnel and has been admitted to the hospital for treatment. Fortunately, her condition is now stable and out of danger.
Different Perspectives on the Incident
Pramod Kumar, the customer involved in the incident, claims that he has a current account at the bank. He had visited the bank on Saturday to deposit money when he encountered improper behavior from the guard. When he tried to address the issue with the guard, the situation escalated and the guard fired his gun in anger.
However, the police have a different theory regarding the incident. Rural SP Masood Azhar stated that the guard had a dispute with another individual regarding a money deposit. During the altercation, several individuals entered the bank and assaulted the guard, resulting in severe injuries. The guard has also been admitted to the hospital for treatment. Based on the guard’s statement, the police have registered a case and are currently conducting an investigation.
Official Response

He mentioned that any updates or directions received from senior officials will be shared with the media. When attempting to contact the in-charge of the Bakhtiyarpur police station for further information on the incident, they were unavailable to take the call at that time.

The facts will be emphadised after police and departmental enquiry. But one thing is notable that guard is posted to maintain peace and law and order, while the above referred guard had dispute with another individual, which is absolutely wrong.
Further, in which manual of Watch and Ward has mentioned that he will fire in anger.
Prima facie the guard appears to be on fault, rest facts after enquiry reveals.
