NEW DELHI: An Indian man shot and killed his teenaged neighbour in a rage after she objected to him urinating near the gate of their home in the heart of New Delhi, police said on Friday.

Officers named the victim as Yusra, aged 17, saying she was shot twice by the man who broke into her home and also wounded her mother late on Wednesday in the Nizamuddin residential and commercial district.

“During the day, Yusra objected to him urinating at the gate of the building in which both lived,” additional police commissioner Ajay Chaudhry said.—AFP
