A woman was shot dead by her 38-year-old paramour inside a room at an OYO hotel in Narela area of Northwest Delhi.
The accused, identified as Praveen, alias Situ, had also attempted to commit suicide by shooting himself in the head but he survived and is undergoing treatment at Sanjay Gandhi hospital.
The victim has been identified as 39-year-old Geeta. She checked into the OYO hotel on Tuesday with the accused, officials said.
According to a hotel staff, the couple had a heated argument, and the man, apparently, in a fit of rage, shot his girlfriend in her chest. After killing her, he also tried to kill himself.
According to the police, the suspect was initially charged with a different murder case on September 21 but later received bail. He had shot a man named Gaurav, and the victim’s father had complained about him, leading to his arrest.
The shooting incident caused panic, which prompted the police officials to arrive at the scene.
When Geeta was taken to the hospital, the medical staff pronounced her dead on arrival.
