In a shocking act of violence, a 28-year-old woman, Nandini Parihar, was brutally shot dead by her estranged husband in broad daylight. The horrifying incident occurred near Roop Singh Stadium, one of Gwalior’s busiest areas. The incident has sparked public outrage and raised serious questions about law enforcement and women’s safety in India.

The Attack
The incident occurred around noon when Nandini, accompanied by two friends, was travelling in an auto-rickshaw after visiting the Superintendent of Police’s office to file yet another complaint against her abusive husband, Arvind Parihar. Arvind, following her in a separate rickshaw, intercepted her near the stadium and opened fire with a country-made pistol, shooting her five times at point-blank range.
Witnesses described the scene as terrifying, with traffic grinding to a halt and pedestrians fleeing in panic. “I was just coming from court when I heard gunshots. I saw him fire three bullets, one after the other, right into her. People were frozen in fear nobody dared catch him,” said lawyer MP Singh, a witness.
