Medininagar (Jharkhand), Feb 7: Unidentified assailants gunned down a 55-year-old woman in Jharkhand’s Palamu district on Wednesday, police said.

The victim, identified as Namita Devi, was a resident of Lal Bahadur Shastri Mohalla here. Her husband Bihari Ram was killed in a similar way about 32 years ago, the officer said.

SP Reeshma Rameshan told PTI that motorcycle-borne assailants shot the woman in her head in the afternoon and fled.

Prima facie, the incident seems to be a fallout over a land dispute, the SP said.

Namita Devi, who was profusely bleeding, was rushed to Medinirai Medical College and Hospital, where doctors declared her dead.
