It was gathered that the tragic incident occurred at Okela police station of the town on Thursday.

The police officer, who was on a visit to the station, was alleged to have released the bullets while in joyous mood over the news of promotion of one of his colleagues which sadly hit the women.

There was, however, confusion over the circumstances surrounding the unfortunate death of the woman said to be a mother of one.

A source told our correspondent that the accidental discharge of the policeman, who was attached to another unit of the State Police Command, allegedly hit the victim in front of a saloon located opposite the police station while returning from where she went to pay her accommodation rent.
