Delhi Horror: Husband Allegedly Shoots Wife Dead After Heated Argument, Flees Scene

A 33-year-old woman was allegedly shot dead by her husband following a domestic dispute in south Delhi's Sangam Vihar area on Thursday night. The accused fled the scene after the incident, and police have launched a search to trace him.

The victim, identified as Kavita, lived with her husband, Shubham Rajput, in K-2 Block near Amrita Public School in Sangam Vihar. According to police, the couple had been married for around one-and-a-half years.

Police said the couple had been facing financial difficulties, leading to frequent arguments. On Thursday evening, another altercation reportedly broke out after Shubham returned home from work. During the argument, he allegedly pulled out a pistol and fired two to three rounds at Kavita, killing her on the spot.

The victim's family has alleged that Shubham was involved in an extramarital relationship, which had become a recurring source of conflict between the couple. They also claimed that he frequently threatened to kill her. The family further alleged that the accused was involved in betting activities. Police said all these claims are being verified as part of the investigation.

After hearing gunshots, local residents alerted the police. A team from Tigri Police Station, along with forensic experts and crime scene investigators, reached the spot and examined the scene. Police recovered two to three empty cartridge cases, which have been sent for forensic examination, while the victim's body has been sent for post-mortem.

A murder case has been registered, and police are conducting raids to trace the absconding accused. Investigators are also probing how he obtained the firearm and whether there were any other motives behind the killing.
