The injured student (18) is undergoing treatment at a hospital.
Superintendent of Police Krishna Kumar Bishnoi said, "One Gaurav from Amroha called the woman -- a BSc student -- and shot at her. He then fatally shot himself with the same gun at the spot." "The motive behind the attack is under investigation," he added.
