Cops: 62-yr-old Delhi doctor shoots woman dead over affair, then shoots himself

On Wednesday
morning, a 62 year old doctor shot dead a 55 year old woman in a car in Delhi’s
Rohini area before using the licensed revolver to shoot himself, police said
after finding two dead bodies in a white Volkswagen Vento car.

SD Mishra, deputy commissioner of police
(Rohini), identified the dead doctor as a general physician of a hospital in
Rohini and the woman he allegedly shot dead as the managing director (MD) of a
nursing home associated with the same hospital.

“The doctor
and the MD were in a relationship. The woman wanted the doctor to marry him.
That demand led to the murder and suicide,” the DCP said based on the initial
probe.

While the
police are yet to verify the family background of the woman, the doctor was a
married man with two children, said the DCP.

His son is a
doctor in another state while his daughter is a doctor in another part of the
city, the DCP added.

The bodies
were found by a passerby around 7.45 am on an isolated stretch of a road in
Rohini Sector 13, the DCP said.

The woman
was shot in her chest while the doctor had shot himself in his head, the
officer said.
