Man shoots wife at wedding, dies by taking own life in Rajasthan’s Bharatpur.

Raghavendra (31), a resident of Agra, dies on the spot, while his wife, Radhika (28), sustains critical injuries; the incident occurs at the woman's parental home at Singhavali village under the Rupwas police station area.

PTI, May 01, 2026, Jaipur : A 31-year-old man allegedly shot his wife during a wedding function, and then died by suicide in Rajasthan's Bharatpur district on Friday, police said.

The incident occurred at the woman's parental home at Singhavali village under the Rupwas police station area, when a family function was under way.

Station House Officer Vinod Meena said Raghavendra (31), a resident of Agra, died on the spot, while his wife, Radhika (28), sustained critical injuries.

Radhika had come to her parental home on April 30 to attend her cousin's pre-wedding ceremony. Raghavendra reached the venue around noon on Friday and called her into a room, where the two had an argument, the officer said.

"He took her inside a room, locked it, and shot her in the chest with a country-made pistol before turning the weapon on himself," he said.

Hearing gunshots, the family members rushed to the room, broke open the door and found both lying in a pool of blood. Raghavendra had died by then, while Radhika was seriously injured, he said.

She was taken to a hospital in Rupwas and later referred to the RBM Hospital in Bharatpur. Due to her critical condition, she was subsequently referred to Jaipur for advanced treatment, police said.

The weapon used in the incident has been recovered from the room, and statements of family members are being recorded. The exact cause of the dispute is yet to be ascertained, they said.

Police said the couple had been married for four years and have a three year old son.
