Police believe the man had been pressuring her to marry him, and her refusal may have triggered the shooting.
A 25-year-old woman was shot dead on Friday evening, allegedly by her partner, after she refused to marry him. Police have launched a manhunt for the accused, who is currently absconding.
The incident took place in the Phase 2 area when Krishna (26) allegedly opened fire at his girlfriend Sonu (25) inside her paying guest accommodation, PTI reported, citing Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central Noida) Shakti Mohan Avasthy.
Police officers rushed to the spot after receiving information and took the woman to a hospital, where doctors declared her dead.
