Woman Shot Inside Gurugram Club After Rejecting Marriage Proposal

New Delhi, Dec 26: A 25-year-old woman was shot inside a club in Gurugram after she allegedly refused a marriage proposal from a man, police said on Thursday.

The incident occurred in the early hours of December 20 at a club on MG Road. Police said they received information about a firing incident and found the woman admitted to a private hospital, where she was initially unfit to record her statement.

The victim’s husband, a resident of Najafgarh in Delhi, lodged a complaint stating that his wife, Kalpana (25), worked at the club and was shot by Tushar, a resident of Sangam Vihar in Delhi. According to the complaint, the woman had gone to work on December 19 and called her husband around 1 a.m. to inform him that she had been shot.

The complainant further said that about a month earlier, Tushar had visited their house, argued with the family and left. Based on the complaint, an FIR was registered at Sector 29 police station.

During the investigation, a crime unit team arrested two accused — Tushar alias Jonty (25) and his associate Shubham alias Jony (24), both residents of Sangam Vihar — from Baraut in Uttar Pradesh, police said.

Police alleged that Tushar had befriended the woman around six months ago and wanted to marry her, but she repeatedly refused. On the night of December 19, he allegedly went to the club along with Shubham, proposed to her again and, upon her refusal, shot her.

Both accused have been arrested and further investigation is underway, police said. (Agencies)
