Woman shot for asking husband to quit crime

LUCKNOW: She asked her history-sheeter husband to quit crime, but had to pay with her life. A housewife was shot dead by her husband when she asked him to take up a respectable profession. The two had got married four months ago.
The incident took place in Chinhat around 4.15 pm when the deceased Julie Yadav (26) was at home with her husband Vimal (30), brother-in-law and mother-in-law. Three murder cases are registered against Vimal in Chinhat police station, while he is also into extortion, police said.
Chinhat SHO, Sachin Kumar Singh said an argument started when Julie asked Vimal to quit crime. She was also angry over being kept in the dark about Vimal's criminal ways.
The argument turned ugly when Vimal allegedly shot Julie in her right temple with a country-made pistol, killing her on the spot. Vimal's family informed police that Julie has committed suicide, but nature of injuries and circumstantial evidence indicated that it was murder. Vimal later confessed that he shot Julie because she was nagging him. A case of murder was lodged against Vimal and body has been sent for post mortem.
