34-year-old woman shot in the head and face in Delhi in car
Husband claimed strangers shot her, then admits he did it: Cops
He was secretly married to another woman: Cops
The police claims that Pankaj Mehra, a businessman who was deep in debt, has confessed to this version of events during his interrogation today. He allegedly was secretly married to another woman who he wanted to be with.
"Pankaj was married to another woman despite being married to Priya. He was inclined towards his other wife and thought of eliminating Priya," said senior police officer Milind Dumbere.
At first, Pankaj Mehra claimed that his wife had been shot on the orders of a money-lender to whom he owes 40 lakhs over a failed restaurant business. But it was CCTV from a petrol pump that exposed his lies.

Priya Mehra's husband had earlier said she was shot at by unidentified gunmen.
However, the CCTV footage did not show any car except for his at the place where the shooting took place, the police said. They said the gun that was used to kill Ms Mehra has not been found as yet.
