Lucknow authorities are probing the tragic incident in which a State Bank of India employee allegedly killed his estranged wife, his younger sister, and then took his own life. Manas Bajpai, 38, allegedly shot and killed his wife Divya Mishra, 36, outside her workplace at an ICICI Bank branch in the Gomti Nagar area on Thursday afternoon.
Bajpai is said to have called Divya and convinced her to meet him outside the bank after she had spoken with him on the phone. After a brief exchange, police claim he opened fire at her, leaving her with serious injuries before she collapsed.
