Lovers plan suicide, but man shoots girlfriend and flees after changing his mind

New Delhi(The Uttam Hindu):A 24-year-old woman, Meera, was allegedly shot by her boyfriend, Sachin Yadav, in Chhatarpur, Madhya Pradesh, after the couple decided to end their lives together. The tragic incident occurred on Friday afternoon at a building on Satai Road, where Meera and Sachin, who had been in a relationship for over three years, had planned a suicide pact, facing opposition from their families.

According to the police, Sachin was supposed to shoot Meera and then take his own life. However, after shooting her in the head, Sachin fled the scene, leaving her behind. He later confessed to the crime during interrogation but maintained that it was part of a mutual suicide pact. A gun was recovered from the scene.

Forensic teams and senior officials, including SP Agam Jain, have inspected the site as the investigation continues. The building, where the incident took place, houses over 25 tenants, mostly students.

SP Agam Jain stated, "We are verifying Sachin's claims. While he says they planned to die together, further investigation is needed to determine the exact motive."
