Her boyfriend Suresh Gupta has been arrested in connection with the shooting death of 32-year-old Preeti Rawat in Rishikesh. Police say that a dispute over buying a house for marriage became the reason for the murder.
Dehradun: The boyfriend of a 32-year-old woman has been arrested in connection with the shooting death of her in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand. This incident happened in a rented house in Shivaji Nagar. The name of the woman who died is Preeti Rawat (32). The name of the accused in the case is Suresh Gupta. Preeti was working as an assistant in AIIMS hospital. The murder took place late Saturday night. Both were already married and had decided to live together after separation from their respective partners.
Preeti was living alone in Shivaji Nagar after divorce. A few years ago, he met Suresh Gupta in Rishikesh. Later both of them fell in love. To marry Preeti, Suresh Gupta had also filed for divorce from his wife four months ago. Police said that Preeti’s family had demanded to buy a house in Rishikesh before the marriage, after which Suresh sold all his property in Luxor, Haridwar for Rs 35 lakh. Even after this, due to not being able to find a suitable house in Rishikesh, there were frequent fights between the two.
Police say that initial investigation has revealed that Suresh Gupta was under mental stress due to not being able to get a divorce from his wife and not being able to buy a house even after selling all the property. Because of this he committed this murder. On the complaint of Preeti’s family, a case has been registered against Suresh Gupta at Rishikesh Police Station. Further investigation into the matter is ongoing.
