A 21-year-old man committed suicide by shooting a woman in Harthala in Uttar Pradesh’s Sambhal district on Saturday. The police said that his condition is alarming.
According to the police, Gaurav Gurjar of a nearby village in Amroha district called 19-year-old Pratishka Jatav near his village and shot himself. He died on the spot.
Rajni Jatav, the mother of the injured woman, said that Gaurav had repeatedly informed her daughter that Gaurav had threatened to kill her if she did not pay attention to him. “I ignored the threat to her. Had I taken her seriously, the incident would not have happened,” she said.
Rajni said that Pratiksha went to college on Saturday morning. Rajni started looking for her daughter even till 1 o’clock in the afternoon and the locals reported that she was lying in a pool of blood 1 km away from the house.
“We took him to a local health centre, from where he has been referred to a hospital in Moradabad,” he added.
‘We have taken the murder weapon and two empty cartridges. The waiting situation in the hospital is serious,’ said Sambhal Superintendent of Police Krishna Kumar Bishnoi.
