In Peshawar and several other cities, the lack of parental guidance and social negligence has led young individuals to use weapons recklessly. According to police on Monday, videos showing intense aerial firing by several youths in the Baghwanan area under Bhana Mari Police Station went viral on social media, creating fear among women, children and other citizens.<br \/>\nPolice arrested Aqeel Ahmed, Adeel Ahmed, Abdul Samad alias Sameer, Abdul Basit, Asad, Adnan Ahmed, Ghulam Fareed and Ahmed in connection with the incident.<br \/>\nSimilarly, due to the growing practice of grooms firing shots during wedding ceremonies, Urmar Police arrested a groom named Yaseen from Och Canal and recovered a pistol from his possession.<br \/>\nIn another incident, police also arrested an underage suspect in Hayatabad Phase 6 for firing in the air while riding a motorcycle.<br \/>\nExperts believe that aerial firing should be declared a non-bailable offence and only strict legal punishment along with effective judicial action can eliminate this dangerous practice.<br \/>\nSocial media has further fueled this trend, as young people display weapons to appear like \u201cdons\u201d or \u201cgangsters,\u201d encouraging more incidents of aerial firing.<br \/>\nSocial circles and police officials have emphasized that parents and society must take responsibility to protect the younger generation from gun culture and provide positive upbringing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>APP PESHAWAR The increasing trend of aerial firing by underage boys during weddings and other celebrations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has become a serious cause of concern.
