A spurned 'suitor' allegedly shot dead a 17-year-old girl yesterday evening when she was returning from a coaching class in Kasravad town in Madhya Pradesh's Khargone district, the police said here today.
Police arrested three persons, including her spurned 'suitor', Sonu alias Aashiq Ali (23), Bunty Yoginath (22) and Lucky Sourabh Gupta (22) from Barwah town while another accused identified as Bhuru is still absconding, Khargone's Superintendent of Police (SP) Amit Singh told reporters here.
Singh said Aashiq Ali used to woo the girl who never responded to his overtures. He also used to visit her home quite frequently until her parents opposed it.
After they asked him not to visit their home, he got angry and purchased an illegal pistol for Rs 40,000 to kill her.
Yesterday, all the accused consumed a lot of liquor. After they spotted her returning from coaching class, they allegedly pumped bullets into her head, killing her on the spot.
The SP has announced a reward of Rs 5,000 to the entire police team for solving the murder case in a very short time.
