Greater Noyeda West awoke to a chilling tale of love gone awry: a woman in a relationship with a Delhi cop shot herself with his licensed sidearm following a toxic phone confrontation. The 25-year-old, Priya, clings to life in hospital after the Bisrakh-area shooting.
Constable Ashish, held for questioning, had been entangled with Priya for half a decade. Divorcing his wife, he shacked up with her in Radha Sky Garden just five months back.
Details emerge of the fateful night—a boisterous flat party shattered by his ex-wife’s incoming call. Priya’s heated response devolved into a screaming match, culminating in her grabbing the pistol and self-harm.
The resounding shot drew a crowd; Ashish heroically ferried the injured woman to medical aid. Police swiftly arrived, barricading the scene for forensic analysis and seizing the weapon.
Central Noida Deputy Commissioner Shakti Mohan Awasthi assured comprehensive scrutiny: ‘Probing suicide intent versus other motives with full forensic backing.’
Beyond the immediate tragedy, this incident spotlights firearm protocols for law enforcers and the shadowy impacts of unresolved marital strife on new bonds. The society remains on edge, awaiting justice and Priya’s recovery.
