LUCKNOW - A youth shot dead a woman teacher inside a classroom before killing himself in Uttar Pradesh’s Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj Nagar district Thursday, police said.

Yar Mohammad (27) first fired at Manisha Singh, while she was teaching class 3 students in the Aerua Primary School in Jamo town and later shot himself dead, police said, adding that the reason behind the incident was yet to be established.

“Yar Mohammad and Manisha Singh both died on the spot,” police inspector Rajesh Gupta told reporters in Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj Nagar district, some 150 km from Lucknow.

Asked whether the incident could be linked to a one-sided love affair, Gupta said: “It could be possible. Both of them were residents of the same village. However, the exact reason behind the incident would be confirmed only after an enquiry.”
