Firing at Delhi metro station, constable kills colleague, self

A young CISF constable allegedly shot dead a fellow lady constable posted along with him at the Yamuna Bank Metro Station in east Delhi before killing himself this morning.

The incident took place at around 7am, a senior police official said.

M Pillai, in his early twenties, allegedly pumped six bullets into the woman Constable NVS Teja, of the same age, before shooting himself, the official said.

Pillai, who belonged to Kerala, and Teja, who hailed from Andhra Pradesh, were recruited in the force in 2009. Teja was leaving for home after her night shift while Pillai just joined duty when he opened fire at her.

Teja died on the spot while Pillai was rushed to nearby Walia Nursing Home in Laxmi Nagar where he was declared brought dead.

Police is investigating the reason behind the incident.

"It appears that they were in a relationship and there was some personal dispute. We are investigating the matter," the official said.
