Meenakshi, a resident of Bawana, was murdered around 8.45 am in west Delhi's Rohini area.

"Two men on a bike shot four bullets at her. The woman died on the spot," a police official said.

Investigators said they recovered one live cartridge and two used ones from the crime scene.

Meenakshi had married businessman Parvinder Rana six years ago.

Rana was earlier married to another woman but got separated before marrying Meenakshi.

Police is investigating allegations that a relative of Rana's first wife had threatened Meenakshi some time back.u00a0
