Illegal Pistol Recovered

The Shahpur police arrested Vishwakarma shortly after the murder. From his possession, they seized an illegal pistol, three live cartridges, and two empty shells. Investigators said the weapon was locally made and is now a key piece of evidence in the case.

Heated Argument Before Firing

CCTV footage captured the final moments. A verbal clash quickly spiraled out of control. In rage, Vishwakarma pulled out his pistol and shot Mamta twice. One bullet hit her chest, another struck her hand. She collapsed instantly, bleeding on the spot.

Divorce Battle Turned Deadly

The couple had been married for 14 years but were going through divorce proceedings. According to police, Mamta demanded farmland transfer and child support before agreeing to separation. Their 13-year-old daughter had been living with Mamta during the tense family dispute.

Woman Declared Dead

Passersby rushed Mamta to a nearby hospital after the shooting. Doctors, however, declared her dead on arrival. The news spread quickly in Gorakhpur, sparking anger and fear among residents who demanded stricter action against crimes involving illegal firearms.
