A wedding celebration came to an abrupt end in Bhopal when a man shot dead the bride, his first cousin, on the stage when the newly married couple was posing for photographs with guests late on Thursday.

Anurag Singh, 31, shot Jayshree Namdeo, 26, from very close range and appeared to turn the pistol towards himself when relatives overpowered him.

...
Anurag, who was nearly lynched and had to be hospitalised, told the police that he loved Jayshree ... and could not bear to see her getting married to another man.

...
Anurag said he had warned Rohit not to marry his love interest after the couple changed their relationship status on their Facebook pages, and decided to kill her when he saw the engagement photograph.

...
In a Facebook post immediately after her engagement he talked about taking his life. A frequent Facebook user, he also posted photographs posing with a rifle.

He recently changed the cover photo of his account to the words “JUST WAIT AND WATCH” in red background.

...

Jayshree was rushed to a nearby private hospital where she was declared dead on arrival.

Anurag was bleeding severely and lying on the ground near the stage when the police arrived and took him away. SP Arvind Saxena said Anurag had come well-prepared and did not repent killing his cousin saying that’s all he wanted to do after she refused to marry him.

Wow. That is screwed up. My family tree doesn't have a lot of branches until the last 50 years or so but couldn't even imagine this happening nowadays here.

Islamic? Says who, you? Let's lay the blame where it really lies, sexual jealousy and not where you think it might, Islamic culture. You have zero evidence for your claim.

YeeeeeeeeeeHawwwwwwwww! Catchy tune.

But seriously I think they were Hindu.

Hindu, Islam, interchangeable really

It's a terrible tragedy. Solving your problems by murder is always very shortsighted. Clearly this man didn't think through the consequences of his actions and now the family is torn apart.

If only the other guests had been armed, this women would still be alive.

Mental health issues + access to firearms = tragedy, even in Islamic people like Hindus.

Bah - FaceBook is Evil -

I say Ban FaceBook in India...

What say you?

[Darnell 8,478]

cousin marriage is common in that region - but usually the fathers have set it up, right?

What's going on - the bride's father not like the nephew's father?

If Facebook is outlawed, only outlaws will have Facebook.

Wow. Even my family historically wouldn't condone 1st cousin's marrying. Maybe hooking up now and again but definitely not marrying.
