CHANDIGARH: Four days after the gruesome murder of a woman by her husband and his paramour, Chandigarh witnessed another gory crime on Friday. A man tried to kill his estranged second wife before shooting himself with his country-made weapon in his car in Sector 44.
The deceased has been identified as Samoun Masie, 32, son of a retired Chandigarh Police constable and a resident of Baltana.
The second wife of deceased, Anita Nahar, had a narrow escape as the bullet brushed past her right shoulder. She was rushed to GMCH-32 and discharged after preliminary treatment.
The incident took place in Sector 44 around 8.15am when Anita along with her daughter, Enna, 11, was going to Chandigarh Baptist School, Sector 45, where she teaches and her daughter is a student. Enna is from Anita's first marriage.
Sources said Anita was upset with Samoun as he did not tell her that he was already married. She had also filed a complaint against him with women cell of Chandigarh Police four months ago. The deceased was living with his first wife Meenu and their six-year-old daughter. Incidentally, it was his daughter's birthday on Friday.
Eyewitnesses said Samoun shot at Anita, who was on a two-wheeler, from his car. Due to this Anita lost her balance and they fell. Thinking that she's dead, Samoun fled. Police said a few minutes later, Samoun was found dead in his car. A country made weapon along with two live cartridges was recovered from the car.
SHO of PS 34, Inspector Kirpal Singh said a case of attempt to murder was registered against Samoun Masie on Anita's statement. He said as Samoun is dead, the case will be filed in district court as untraced and an inquest proceeding was also initiated in this regard.
It was in 2009 when Samoun Masie met Anita at Chandigarh Baptist School in Sector 45, when the former used to drop his elder brother's kids to school. Anita was a schoolteacher. Sources said the couple wed in the Sector-24 church and began staying in a rented accommodation in Sector 44.
Things worsened six months ago when Anita came to know of Samoun's prior marriage. She complained to UT police, the couple separated and the woman shifted to her parental home. But, sources said Samoun started to SMS Anita's students, threatening them. Some messages contained objectionable text as well. A member of the school management said, "We summoned parents of these students and they were advised to guide their children not to entertain the SMSs. Police had been informed."
Though the man's first wife Meenu said she had no idea of Samoun's marriage to Anita, sources said the woman was aware but had adjusted to the circumstances. Samoun was the youngest of six brothers who stayed in a rented accommodation in Shiv Enclave, Baltana.
