A man killed a woman who lied about her age and marital status. According to reports by Times of India, Vineet Singh, 22, thought he was dating a 21-year-old woman name Jyoti Kori.
The two dated online for three years, but they never saw each other. Kori apparently posted fake pictures on her profile.
On April 18, the two finally met in person. Singh was distraught when he discovered that Kori was a 45-year-old woman who was married with three kids.
Angered by the revelation, Singh shot Kori and turned the gun on himself. He later died from gunshot wounds.
The case brings to light how online dating has allowed individuals to create new identities. It’s important for those who engage in online dating to keep their emotions in check before delving into a relationship with someone whom they don’t really know.
Authorities are investigating the incident.
