A 20-year-old BSc student has died from a gunshot wound in Uttar Pradesh's Farrukhabad district. The incident took place in Dhansua village under the Fatehgarh Kotwali police station area, and the exact circumstances of her death are still unclear. Initial police inquiry points toward suicide, but investigators are examining every angle before drawing conclusions. The bullet is believed to have been fired from her father's licensed rifle, which has now been sent for forensic examination.
Father posted in Punjab with the Army, daughter was home alone
The deceased has been identified as Anjali Pal, 20. Her father, Rajesh Kumar Pal, serves in the Indian Army and is currently posted in Punjab. At the time of the incident, Anjali was alone at home. Her mother had stepped out for some work, while her brother was at his shop.
Brother entered through neighbour's roof, found her unconscious
Late in the evening, when the brother returned home after shutting his shop, the door remained closed for a long time despite repeated attempts. Growing suspicious, he climbed onto a neighbour's roof and entered the house from there, where he found Anjali unconscious. Police and a forensic team rushed to the spot as soon as they were informed and began collecting evidence.
No suicide note recovered so far
No suicide note has been recovered from the scene so far. The body has been sent for a post-mortem examination. Police officials say the real cause of death will become clear only after the post-mortem and forensic reports come in. For now, officers are questioning family members and probing every possible angle of the case.
Firing at a wedding function in Mathura leaves one dead
Separately, another shooting was reported in Mathura district. A wedding function was underway at Rozy Garden, under the Highway police station area, when a dispute between two people led to gunfire. A man identified as Gajendra died on the spot after being shot. According to initial information, Gajendra and the accused, Pawan, are cousins, and both are residents of Parsoli village in the Nauhjhil police station area.
Old dispute over alleged illicit relationship
Reports suggest Gajendra and Pawan had been at odds for a long time over an alleged illicit relationship. The disagreement escalated into an argument during the wedding function. Pawan then allegedly opened fire on Gajendra with his licensed pistol, firing several rounds. Gajendra died on the spot from the gunshot wounds. Police are investigating both cases separately.
