Woman shot dead at home in Dwarka

New Delhi, December 10

In a suspected case of revenge killing, a 45-year-old woman was shot dead by two men at her home in Dwarka on Monday, a police official said.

The woman, Kamlesh, was a resident of Pochanpur village, Dwarka, and was in a live-in relationship with Monu.

In May, Monu allegedly killed Sandeep Mental, member of a rival gang and is currently in jail on charges of murder.

Police prima facie suspect that Sandeep Mental's gang members may have killed Kamlesh to revenge his death.

On Monday, two men came on a motorcycle and barged into Kamlesh's house. They shot her and fled, the official said. At the time of the incident, the maid was present in the house.

Kamlesh was rushed to a nearby hospital and was declared brought dead by doctors.

Police said that they have identified the two accused after scanning footage of CCTV cameras in the area.

A senior official said police is raiding several places in Delhi and Haryana to nab the two men and others involved in the incident. — PTI
