M Suresh Reddy (30) and P Kavya (26), both software professionals, were in a relationship. He was posted in Bengaluru and she was working in Pune but, for the past few months, both have been working from home, Atmakuru Deputy Superintendent of Police K Venkateswara Rao said over phone.

Both their families were into farming but Kavya's parents refused to marry their daughter off because of debt.

After shooting his lover, the man ran some distance, jumped a wall and shot himself. He died on the spot, the officer added.
