Ghaziabad Shooting Leaves Woman Dead After Family Dispute
A 34‑year‑old woman was shot and later died after a confrontation with neighbours in Ghaziabad. The incident occurred late Saturday when the woman’s brother, Aman Kumar, allegedly urinated in front of a neighbouring house. The neighbours objected and an altercation ensued. Aman was reportedly assaulted by the neighbours and later returned home to inform his family. The family then went to the neighbours’ house, where a fight broke out and the prime accused fired a shot that hit the woman’s face. She was taken to a hospital in Delhi and declared dead. Five men from Indirapuri have been arrested; the prime suspect who opened fire and a minor girl are still at large. Police are investigating under sections 191(2), 103(2), 115(2), 61(2), and 125b of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, as well as the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act for alleged caste‑based slurs. The victim’s family named seven people, including a minor girl, in their complaint. The investigation is ongoing and additional charges may be added as it proceeds.
