Unidentified riders shot and killed a doctor and his wife in broad daylight in Bharatpur, Rajasthan, on Friday. The event was recorded on video.
Sudeep Gupta (46) and his wife Seema Gupta (44), who were shot by two bike-riding assailants, have been identified as the brother and cousin of a lady who was reportedly killed in 2019.
“In 2019, a woman, with whom Sudeep allegedly had a relationship, died along with her son after the doctor’s wife and his mother allegedly set fire to their house. The doctor, his wife and his mother were all in jail following the incident, and presently all three were on bail,” said Bharatpur Superintendent of Police (SP) Devendra Bishnoi.
Anuj Gurjar and Mahesh Gurjar, Deepa’s brother and first cousin, followed the doctor couple down to Shri Radhe Chowraha in Bharatpur on Friday afternoon, where they were shot dead at point-blank range.
“Preliminary investigation suggests it’s a case of revenge killing. An attempt is being made to apprehend them. “An FIR has been filed in this case, and additional investigation is underway,” Bishnoi stated.
The couple was shot a day after Bharatpur MP Ranjeeta Koli’s car was assaulted by unidentified miscreants in Dharsoni hamlet in the district, causing the opposition to raise concerns about Rajasthan’s law and order situation.
“An MP was attacked last night, and a doctor and his wife were assassinated in broad daylight today,” Rajasthan Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Satish Poonia said of the Congress-led state administration. People would come to the streets to protest the state’s deplorable law and order condition if the chief minister [Ashok Gehlot] does not enhance law and order.”
