New Delhi: In a shocking murder reported from Bihar's Gopalganj, a woman was allegedly shot dead by her relatives over a property dispute. She was reportedly killed by her relatives with whom she was not on good terms, owing to the property dispute. Her son is with the Border Security Force (BSF).
According to a report in the Times of India, the police team identified the deceased as 40-year-old Savita Devi. She was allegedly shot dead while she was sitting on a cot inside her house. Her 15-year-old daughter was cooking in the kitchen when she heard gunshots.
Four people, who arrived on 2 motorcycles, entered the house and started firing at her. She died on the spot, said police officials.
An investigation has been launched in the matter and an FIR registered against the woman's relatives.
The deceased, Savita was married to Munna Yadav. She was a resident of Pandey Samail village under Mirganj police station area.
