A State Bank of India staff member allegedly opened fire on his estranged wife outside her workplace, later shot his sister at home and then took his own life, leaving a WhatsApp note accusing his wife of infidelity.
Police have opened an investigation after a State Bank of India employee allegedly shot his estranged wife outside the premises of her workplace. The incident reportedly took place in the morning, and witnesses say the gunman fled the scene after the first shooting.
According to preliminary reports, the suspect returned to his residence where he shot his younger sister. Both victims were pronounced dead at the scene, and the gunman subsequently turned the weapon on himself, ending the tragic sequence.
A WhatsApp status posted by the accused, which surfaced during the probe, accused his wife of cheating. Authorities are treating the case as a domestic‑violence homicide and are examining the marital dispute as a possible motive.
The investigation remains ongoing, with forensic teams collecting evidence from both locations. No further details on the identities of the victims or the exact location have been released pending family notification.
The incident has raised concerns about workplace safety and the need for timely intervention in domestic conflicts, prompting calls for stronger support mechanisms for at‑risk families.
