India, Oct. 23 -- British YouTuber Sam Pepper has acknowledged that he injured a person while shooting firecrackers in India. Pepper, 36, was celebrating Diwali in New Delhi when he got into a fireworks battle with a group of locals. He was filmed shooting rockets at the group, standing some distance away.

One rocket apparently hit an eight-year-old girl and left her injured. Footage shared online shows locals confronting Sam Pepper and informing him that the girl had lost an eye.

Pepper reacted with disbelief on receiving the news. "No it hasn't!" he exclaimed, before saying that the group might be exaggerating the extent of the girl's injuries.

Sam Pepper has been banned from Kick following the incident, Dexerto reported.
