The incident took place around 2 pm in Amla town, about 30 km from the district headquarters, where the accused Bhanu Thakur allegedly entered the home of a 25-year-old woman with two pistols and opened fire, Amla police station in-charge Sunil Lata said.

Thakur shot dead the woman, her 22-year-old cousin and 18-year-old neighbour who were present in the house, and later killed himself on the spot, the official said.

According to the police, the woman’s family had earlier lodged a police complaint against Thakur about stalking and eve-teasing, following which the police had called him to the police station during the day and urged him to stop approaching the woman.
