A 26-year-old woman was shot dead in broad daylight in Roorkee on Sunday morning. Two bike-born unidentified men shot at her, when she came out from the house for taking milk, police said. She worked as receptionist in an automobile showroom in Roorkee.
The deceased has been identified as Sandhya Bhatia, who was living with her friend in a rented house in Nehru colony.
Speaking to The Pioneer, SP Rural Pramendra Dobhal said, “The body of the woman has been sent to the civil hospital for autopsy. Country made gun was used by the shooters. Her parents have refused to file a case but we have registered a case on behalf of her friend who lived with her. We have got some evidence through CCTV footage and mobile surveillance. The accused knew her very well and we will open the case soon."
Prima facie it seems to be love affair, which became the cause of the murder of the girl, added Dobhal.
Notably Sandhya’s parents lived in civil line area of Roorkee but the girl had some dispute with her parents over her personal life. So she was living separately.
