Barmer: A married woman and her paramour allegedly killed themselves in the district Thursday, police said. The deceased, identified as Anju Suthar and Shamkar Chaudhary, both aged 21, were allegedly in a relationship before the woman got married sometime ago, Chohtan circle officer (CO) Ajit Singh said. Both used a gun to kill themselves.

Prime facie, it seemed they shot themselves dead with two country-made pistols that were recovered from the spot, Bramer SP Rashi Dogra said. In an audio clip, recovered from their mobile phone, they said to have taken the extreme step because of 'failing in love', the circle officer added.
