Bengal college girl shot dead at home by ex-boyfriend
Krishnanagar (PTI): A college student was allegedly shot dead at her home by her ex-boyfriend in West Bengal's Nadia district on Monday, police said.
The incident happened in the afternoon in Manikpara in the Kotwali police station area, they said.
Isha Mallik, 19, has been in a relationship with Debraj since her school days. She recently broke up with him, they said.
Debraj, who also knew Isha's brother, would often visit her house and pursue her. Debraj was enraged as Isha continued avoiding him, they added.
"Isha, a student of the Krishnanagar Women's College, was found lying in a pool of blood in their drawing room by her mother. Debraj was seen fleeing with a country-made revolver in his hand," SP of Krishnanagar K Amarnath said.
"She was taken to the Shaktinagar Hospital, where doctors declared her dead. There were two gunshot wounds on her body," he said.
A hunt is on for Debraj, a resident of nearby Mohanpur, the SP said.

Lebanon PM accuses Israel of ‘war crime’ after rescue workers killed in strikes
Beirut: Lebanon’s Prime Minister Nawaf Salam on Tuesday accused Israel of committing a “war crime” after five people, including three civil defence personnel, were killed in twin air strikes in southern Lebanon.
According to Lebanon’s Ministry of Health, the strikes targeted a building in the town of Majdal Zoun, where rescue workers had arrived following an initial attack. A second strike hit the same location, killing those involved in relief operations.
Salam said targeting emergency responders carrying out humanitarian duties amounted to a serious violation of international humanitarian law. He added that the government would raise the matter at international forums and seek action to halt such incidents.
A spokesperson for the Lebanese Civil Defence was quoted by AL Jazeera that the rescuers were trapped under debris after the second strike and later confirmed dead.
The Lebanese army said two of its personnel were also injured in the attack, which reportedly struck a military patrol escorting the rescue team along with civilian equipment.
Lebanon’s President Joseph Aoun also condemned the incident, stating that it was part of a pattern of attacks affecting relief workers and civilians.
Despite a US-mediated ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, cross-border hostilities have continued, with frequent air strikes reported in southern and eastern parts of the country.
Lebanese authorities said at least eight people were killed in separate incidents on Tuesday, while the overall toll from Israeli strikes since early March has crossed 2,500, with thousands injured.
