Wedding turns bloody: Bride shot by jilted lover

Bhopal: The old saying, "Love kills" came true on Thursday night when a jilted lover, Anurag Singh, shot dead a woman on her wedding stage in full public view. The incident took place at a marriage garden in Lalghati area of Bhopal city in central India. Around 11:15 pm on Thursday, when the bride, Dr Jaishri Namdeo (29), was standing with her groom on a stage and accepting wishes from the guests before the wedding rituals began, Anurag, climbed atop the stage and shot her twice in the neck at point blank range. Jaishri succumbed to her injuries at the hospital a short while later. Anurag, who was apprehended by the bride's relatives present there and thrashed by them, was handed over to the police. Speaking to the police, Anurag told them that he had shot Jaishri, a doctor, because she had cheated him. Even as the police are investigating the case, unconfirmed reports suggested that Jaishri had never expressed any affection towards Anurag.
