The woman has been identified as 24-year-old Pooja Yadav.
A 24-year-old woman was shot dead at her home in the Jaitpur area of Delhi yesterday. Police said that two gunmen, one of whom was her lover's brother, barged into her home and shot at her.
She was rushed to a nearby hospital but was declared dead by the doctors as soon as she was brought in.
The incident occurred around 9 pm on Friday night when the shooters barged into her residence wearing masks. They fired five shots at her. She has been identified as 24-year-old Pooja Yadav.
Locals after hearing the shots, rushed to the spot and chased the two gunmen. They managed to catch the motorcycle that the attackers were escaping on, after which the gunmen had to flee on foot.
Police have made one arrest in the case. Rocky, the accused, was the brother of Pooja's lover Krishan. Rocky did not approve of the relationship and that is why he killed Pooja.
Krishan, 37, was married and had four kids, but was having an affair with Pooja, who worked with him. She was forced to leave the job after Rocky objected to the relationship.
On Thursday, a 30-year-old woman was found dead near a metro station in Delhi. Police said the face of the woman was disfigured by the killers using a stone.
