Overview
- The 30-year-old woman, identified by family as Kavita, was shot four times while cooking at around 4 pm on Thursday in Sangam Vihar and later died from her wounds.
- Police named the accused as her husband, Shubham Rajput, who fled the scene and is currently absconding as multiple teams hunt for him.
- Crime and forensic teams recovered a pistol and empty cartridges, shifted the body for post-mortem and have registered a murder case.
- Family members say the couple had frequent fights and that social stigma kept Kavita from leaving; they also allege Rajput owed about ₹25–30 lakh, pressured her to sell land, and had extramarital relationships.
- Investigators are examining claims of planning and possible accomplices while collecting evidence, and the case underscores patterns of intimate-partner violence and barriers victims face when seeking to leave abusive marriages.
