Rapid Read (Representative image) A 30-year-old woman was allegedly shot dead by her husband while preparing rotis at their home in Delhi’s Sangam Vihar on Thursday afternoon. The incident occurred around 4 pm, and the accused, identified as Shubham Rajput, is absconding. The victim, Kavita, had allegedly endured domestic violence since the beginning of her marriage, her family claimed. They said repeated abuse and fear of social stigma kept her from leaving the relationship despite frequent arguments and alleged threats from her husband. “She used to tell me that he beat her.

I asked her to leave him, but she was afraid of societal pressure. He used to threaten her often," the victim’s sister was quoted as saying by news agency PTI. Kavita and Shubham had been married for around one and a half years and lived with his mother and brother. Her brother-in-law, Suresh, alleged that the killing had been premeditated. According to him, Kavita was shot around 4 pm, but her family was informed only at 8 pm. He claimed she suffered four bullet injuries, one to the hand, two to the stomach and one to the neck. A pistol has been recovered. “When I reached there, I saw her body. She sustained four gunshots – one on the hand, two in the stomach and one on the neck. A pistol has been recovered. He did this with planning.

He had sent his mother and brother away a day earlier so that only he would be held accountable," Suresh alleged. The victim’s sister said the shooting followed an argument between the couple. “After a fight, he shot her around 4 pm while she was making rotis for him in the kitchen," the sister said. Kavita’s family further alleged that Shubham had mounting gambling debts and had been unfaithful during the marriage. Suresh claimed the accused owed around Rs 25-30 lakh and had been pressuring Kavita to sell a plot of land she owned to help clear the liabilities. “The deceased had a plot of nearly the same value. He used to pressure her to sell it to repay the debt, but she refused. Two to three of his friends are also involved in this crime," Suresh alleged. The victim’s sister also alleged that Shubham had multiple extramarital affairs, including with a woman from the same locality, which frequently led to disputes between the couple.
