In a shocking incident, a 35-year-old “jilted” lover, a techie, gunned down a woman, also a software professional, and later shot himself to death as she reportedly turned down his offer to marry her at Thatiparthi village, near Podalakur, in SPSR Nellore district, on Monday.
Apparently unable to come to terms with the decision of the woman, working from home for an information technology firm in Pune, the man, A. Suresh Reddy entered her bedroom when she was busy with her work. He then shot her with a gun from a very close range. One of the bullets hit her on the head which proved fatal, Superintendent of Police Ch. Vijaya Rao told the media here.
