A young aspiring model was critically wounded when her 'husband' allegedly shot at her in her home in Hari Nagar locality of Ashram area in southeast Delhi here last night.
The victim Neha Sharma (21) was rushed to Trauma Center of AIIMS. Her condition was said to be stable by evening.
The accused, identified as Prince, is on the run and police has launched a manhunt to arrest the accused. Neha who was earlier based in Mumbai and has appeared in some reality shows during the period, was living with her parents and younger sister at the Hari Nagar house for the past four months, police said.
"A few days ago, a youth named Prince came to the Sharmas' residence and introduced himself as Neha's husband. She too told her parents that they had married five months ago in a temple and it was not disclosed to their families," said a senior police official.
Prince stayed with the family and on Friday night while every one was sleeping, he allegedly came in an inebriated condition and picked up a fight with Neha and he took a pistol and allegedly shot at her. He fired twice hitting her in the abdomen, the officer added.
