KOTA, India — A tragic incident late Friday night left a married man dead and a woman critically injured following a heated altercation. The incident unfolded around 10:30 p.m. near the Mukundra Hills tiger reserve forest office when Karan Gurjar, 32, and his friend, Purva Sharma, 29, were riding a scooter together, police said.
Authorities reported that a dispute between the two escalated rapidly. In an act of violence, Gurjar allegedly shot Sharma in the back of her head. Believing she had died, he then turned the weapon on himself, resulting in his death at the scene.
A passerby discovered the aftermath and promptly notified law enforcement. Emergency responders arrived to transport both individuals to a nearby hospital, where Gurjar was declared dead upon arrival. Sharma, however, underwent emergency surgery and is now reported to be in stable condition.
Mahendra Maru, Circle Inspector at RK Puram police station, confirmed that Gurjar had a prior criminal history, while Sharma is a practicing lawyer. The two were reportedly in a relationship despite Gurjar’s marital status; his wife had left him months before the incident.
Deputy Superintendent of Police Manish Sharma elaborated on the details of the shooting, noting that Gurjar shot Sharma while riding on the back of her scooter. The circumstances surrounding the tragic events are currently under investigation.
Police have since initiated an inquiry to piece together the timeline leading up to the shooting, particularly focusing on the nature of the couple’s relationship. Gurjar was originally from Kaithun town within the Kota district, while Sharma resides in the Dadabari area of the city.
This shocking event has raised questions about the underlying motives and circumstances that could lead to such a violent confrontation.
The police plan to provide updates as they gather more information.
