According to the police, the incident took place around 9.45pm, when the two met near Ijmima complex in Malad (West). The man has been identified as Rahul Yadav, a resident of Kandivali (West). The woman, Nidhi Mishra, lived in Malad (East).
The police said Yadav brought a weapon to the meeting, and while they were walking near the complex, shot Mishra.
“After killing her, he shot himself in the temple,” said an officer.
