An Indian dancer has been hospitalised after being shot in the face because she stopped performing at a wedding.

In a video of the incident, the woman is seen dancing on a stage.

She pauses, a gunshot is heard, and the woman falls down while holding her face.

Police told BBC News that they have identified the shooter in the video, who is on the run.

The incident happened during a wedding celebration in a village in Uttar Pradesh state.

However, it only came to light days later, after the video was widely shared on messaging platforms.

BBC News reports wedding violence is a common phenomenon in certain parts of India, where many guests carry guns - mostly to fire in the air to celebrate the occasion.
