Station House Officer of Noida Phase 2 police station, Vidhiyanchal Tiwari, identified the woman as Sonu (25), a resident of Amroha district in Uttar Pradesh. “She worked as a domestic help and stayed in the rented accommodation with her two sisters and a brother. The accused wanted to marry her but she was not ready and this became an issue…,” he added.
Tiwari said that around 7.30 pm on Friday, a call was received from one of Sonu’s sisters who alleged that she had been shot. “On reaching the spot, we found her shot in the chest… We took her to the hospital where she was declared dead,” he added.
Police said Sonu and Krishna, who hailed from Bihar, earlier worked together at a factory and had been in a relationship since then. Krishna was allegedly pressuring her to marry him, and her refusal is suspected to have led to the shooting, officers said.
