In a shocking and distressing incident, a man allegedly killed his wife in front of their daughter in Uttar Pradesh’s Ghaziabad. The incident took place inside Ajnara Society when a heated argument turned fatal and the man reportedly shot dead his 45-year-old wife. As per the police, the accused is currently absconding.

The accused, identified as Vikas Sehrawat (48), allegedly shot dead his wife, Ruby, in the presence of their 11-year-old daughter, Navya. Their elder daughter, Kavya, had left for school at the time of the incident, officials said.

ACP Nandgram Upasna Pandey said the police and a forensic team reached the spot soon after receiving the information. Fingerprints were collected from the articles lying scattered in the room and the body was sent for post-mortem examination, she added.

The initial investigation revealed that Sehrawat, reportedly addicted to alcohol, had been living separately for the past month. On Tuesday morning, he visited the flat to collect his passport and Aadhaar card. An argument ensued between him and Ruby, during which he allegedly shot her in a fit of rage, according to the police.

Ruby was rushed to a nearby hospital, where doctors declared her brought dead. The younger daughter, who witnessed the incident, is said to be in a state of shock.

The police stated that the couple had previously been booked under the Gangsters Act by Modinagar police for their alleged involvement in a murder case. Details of that case are being verified.

It is yet to be confirmed whether the firearm used in the crime was licensed or illegal. An FIR for murder has been registered at Nandgram police station, and teams have been deployed to trace the absconding accused, the ACP said.
