Agra, Jul 19: A 47-year-old woman was shot dead in broad daylight in Uttar Pradesh’s Agra while returning home from a court hearing on Friday. Police suspect her husband’s involvement in the murder, citing an ongoing legal dispute between the couple.

Assistant Commissioner of Police Amardeep said, “The incident took place in the Fatehabad area. Currently, the husband is suspected of the murder, and a search for him is underway.”

The couple had reportedly been married for around 15 years and were embroiled in a prolonged legal battle over financial maintenance.
