Panic erupted in the Kotla Chungi area of Firozabad on Tuesday night after a 35-year-old man allegedly opened fire on his estranged wife and her male friend inside a busy commercial complex. Both victims suffered severe bullet wounds and have been rushed to Agra for critical medical care. The shooting took place around 8:30 PM at the DAV Market within the limits of Uttar Police Station.
According to police officials, the accused, identified as Rishabh Tailang, arrived at an office where his 32-year-old wife, Shipra, was present alongside her friend, Jitendra Thakur (also known as Sunny). In a sudden fit of rage, Rishabh allegedly pulled out his licensed revolver and discharged four to five rounds at the duo.
Victims Rushed to Agra in Critical Condition
Sunny sustained three gunshot wounds, including two to his chest and rib area. Given his critical state, doctors immediately referred him to a hospital in Agra. Shipra was hit in her left shoulder, abdomen, and left rib, while another bullet grazed her hand. Bleeding heavily, she managed to walk to a neighboring shop to beg the shopkeeper to alert her family members.
