Cops: Raj man shoots girl he was in a relationship with, dies by suicide
JAIPUR: A 25-year-old man allegedly ended his life after he shot at and injured a girl with whom he was in a relationship in Dausa district of Rajasthan, police said.
The critically injured girl, aged around 17, is admitted to SMS hospital in Jaipur, they said.
The man, who married another woman last month, called the girl to an agriculture farm at around 4 am on Friday. When she arrived, he opened fire at her and left the place, police said.
The man reached home and called a family member of the girl saying that she was dead and her body was lying in the farm.
Subsequently, he went to the roof of the house and shot himself in the head, they said.
The houses of both of them are located at a distance of around 500 metres in the same village, they added.
On receiving the phone call, the girl’s family rushed to the farm and found her in an injured state. They took her home instead of a hospital. She was profusely bleeding but the family did not inform anyone about the incident and kept her at home for a few hours.
They took her to a hospital only after her condition deteriorated, police said.
“It was probably because they feared their reputation would be at stake if the locals came to know about the love affair of the girl. However, when her condition worsened, they took her to a local hospital from where she was referred to Jaipur,” assistant sub-inspector of Salempur police station Ghanshyam said.
