A 32-year-old man allegedly committed suicide by shooting himself with a country-made pistol which he had brought along with him from Uttar Pradesh's Chandauli district to kill his 23-year-old sister who had married a man from a different caste. The incident was reported in Hanuman Nagar Kandivli East on Monday at around 9pm.

According to the police, the deceased has been identified as Bateshsar Tiwari. He had came to Mumbai on Monday and had gone straight to his sister's house in Hanuman Nagar, which falls under the Samata Nagar Police." Tiwari was unhappy with his sister's marriage to a 25-year-man from another caste. The wedding had taken place in June this year. "Tiwari had threatened them earlier, too, and on Monday he came with a country made pistol to Mumbai to kill the couple," said an officer.
