Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh:
In a 'met-on-Facebook' love story gone horribly wrong, a 22-year-old man shot dead a woman twice his age and then committed suicide after realising that she had lied to him about her looks, age and marital status.
The accused Vineet Singh, hailing from Muzaffarnagar in Uttar Pradesh befriended Jyoti Kori (44) on Facebook some two and half years ago.
Inspector General, Jabalpur Range, Upendra Jain said Jyoti never revealed that the photograph she had put up on the site was not hers, and that she was a married woman with three children.
On April 18, Vineet arrived in Jabalpur to meet her in person for the first time. The two went to Bhedhaghat on the banks of river Narmada near here, where after learning the truth he shot her and then committed suicide.
He was taken to a hospital but succumbed to injuries. He managed to give a statement to the police before he died.
Police said the pistol he used too appears in some of his Facebook photographs, which Jyoti had 'liked'.
Further probe is on.
