Teacher shoots woman, commits suicide

A man today shot dead a 21-year-old woman before killing himself in Sikar district of Rajasthan, police said on Friday.

25-year old Dharmpal, who was married and a private school teacher, shot Anita (21) dead when she was returning home in Pala Jodi after her B.Ed classes, SHO Balara Lal Singh said. Dharmpal then shot himself, he said.

"Prima facie, it appears to be a case of one-sided love. Dharmpal was married and both the families were staying in the same locality," he added. Both the bodies were sent for postmortem, he said.
