PUNE: A 26-year-old youth allegedly fired at an 18-year-old woman and her father and then committed suicide by hanging himself from a tree. The incident took place at Perne Phata around 35 km from Pune on Tuesday night.
The woman, Nishigandha Waikar, and her father Dattatreya, are severely injured and are being treated at a private hospital here. Police inspector Rajendra Patil, of the Lonikand police station, said they are out of danger.
The youth has been identified as Raju Chavan of Vadhu Khurd. His body was found hanging from a tree at a secluded spot near Vadhu Khurd on Wednesday morning.
Speaking to TOI, inspector Patil said that Chavan wanted to marry Nishigandha, but she had refused his proposal. "When her father fixed her marriage to someone else, Chavan was enraged," he said.
"On Tuesday, around 9.30 pm, Chavan barged into the Waikars' house at Kadam Chawl. He fired two shots at Nishigandha. When her father intervened, Chavan shot him as well," Patil said.
Patil said that Nishigandha had been shot in the stomach and her father in the hand. "After the attack, Chavan fled the spot. The neighbours informed the police and rushed the duo to a private hospital in Pune," Patil said. When the police arrived, they found two live and two empty cartridges at the spot. He said the police sent two teams to look for the suspect. "On Wednesday, we found Chavan's body," Patil said.
