Tarn Taran: The condition of the first-year law student, who allegedly shot dead his fellow woman student inside a classroom before pulling the trigger on himself in Punjab's Tarn Taran, is still critical, said a police official on Tuesday.
Prince Raj (20), a first-year law student at Mai Bhago Law College in Usma village, on Monday shot dead his classmate, Sandeep Kaur, and later opened fire on himself. While Sandeep, 19, died on the spot, Prince was admitted to Amritsar's Guru Nanak Dev hospital in a critical state. The whole incident was captured on CCTV installed in their classroom.
"The condition continues to remain critical. He is still unconscious," Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Jagbir Singh said.
Sandeep's family had claimed that Prince had been harassing her for some time and had even followed her home on one occasion. They also mentioned that Sandeep was engaged to be married.
Police said an investigation was underway to determine the motive behind the killing, adding that they would question the friends and family members of the duo.
The police were also investigating where Prince procured the weapon, which appeared to be illegal. Prince's father is a serving member of the Central Reserve Police Force and is currently posted out of Punjab, as confirmed by the DSP.
A case was registered under Section 103 (punishment for murder) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and relevant sections of the Arms Act.
