Man shoots wife, dies by suicide in UP’s Amroha
The man, a teacher by profession, had started a coaching centre in his village which did not run successfully, leading to monetary issues and fights with his wife, police said.
The couple got married five years ago, police said. File A 28-year-old unemployed teacher in Uttar Pradesh’s Amroha district shot his 24-year-old wife dead and then died by suicide on Wednesday night, police said on Thursday.
According to the police, the man was a teacher at a coaching institute in Delhi but lost his job after the place shut down two years ago. He then opened a coaching centre in his village but it was not a success and led to frequent skirmishes between the couple who have two sons.
“My son and his wife were in their room when we heard them fighting over monetary affairs which had become a routine in the last year. Suddenly we heard gunshots. By the time we rushed to their room, both were lying on the floor in a pool of blood. Their kids were sleeping with us in another room,” the man’s father said.
