A shocking incident in Punjab, India, has led to the arrest of a young man named Karan, who allegedly shot newlywed Ruby Mehra in the head, while a viral video shows him appearing remorseful after being apprehended.
In a disturbing incident in Tarntaran district, Punjab, police have arrested Karan, a young man accused of shooting newlywed Ruby Mehra in the head. Following his arrest, a video surfaced on social media showing Karan crying and seeking forgiveness as he was brought to the court. It was reported that he suffered a broken leg while attempting to evade capture from the police. This premeditated attack is believed to have stemmed from Karan's dissatisfaction with Ruby's marriage, as he had allegedly harassed her prior to the wedding.
According to Senior Superintendent of Police Surinder Lamba, investigations revealed that Karan used a pistol owned by a friend, which he had taken without permission. The pistol belonged to the friend's father, and in addition to the charges against Karan, authorities plan to take legal action against the firearm's owner for illegal possession and negligence. This case raises concerns about gun violence and the circumstances leading to such tragic outcomes in the region.
Ruby Mehra, who was married just two months prior to the incident, is currently receiving medical care in the hospital following the shooting. The incident not only highlights the ongoing issue of partner violence but also brings attention to the need for stricter regulations surrounding gun ownership and accessibility in India, particularly amid rising incidents of domestic and gender-based violence that require urgent attention from the authorities.
