Suspect ‘Irked’ After Girl Ends Contact
Inspector Shamsher Singh, SHO of the City Ballabgarh police station, confirmed the motive for the shooting.
“The injured girl, in her statement, told the police that she knew the boy for almost a year as he also used to reach the library for study. However, she had stopped talking with him for almost a fortnight, which had irked him,” said Inspector Singh.
