A 24-year-old woman was shot dead allegedly by a jilted lover, who then allegedly turned the gun on himself at her house in West Delhi’s Punjabi Bagh on Saturday. Police received a call around midday regarding two people lying in an injured condition in a house in the Old Slum quarters in Punjabi Bagh, police said.
