3 Shots: 1 Dead, 1 Critical in India

"In a suspected case of a jilted lover taking vengeance, a man shot at a woman, injuring her grievously, and then shot himself in the head Sunday afternoon, Delhi Police said.

"Sanjay Aggarwal, 26, went to his 22-year-old friend Uma Rani Sharma's rented accommodation in New Rajender Nagar with flowers in the morning. Uma, staying in the capital for a year, was not home as she was to appear in an exam for a Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited job.

"The police said Sharma, on return, found Aggarwal at her home. The two had a heated argument, at the end of which he pulled out a gun.

"'It was around 1 p.m. and like any of his other visits, Aggarwal came to my house where Sharma is staying as paying guest. He was carrying a bouquet of flowers,' landlord Sukhbir Singh told the police in a written statement.

"'They were in the room when all of a sudden we heard sounds of three gunshots. We rushed there and found them both lying in a pool of blood. Aggarwal was holding the gun in his hand and it was pointed towards his temple,' he said.

"According to the police, Aggarwal could have first fired two shots. One hit Uma in her neck while the other was lodged in her chest. He then committed suicide by pumping one bullet into his temple.

"Aggarwal died immediately on the spot after the bullet he fired went straight through his neck and head. Sharma was rushed to the Ganga Ram Hospital, where doctors described her condition as critical."
