An Indian wedding turned to horror Thursday when the bride was shot dead as she said her vows by a cousin who believed she had “cheated” on him.

Dr. Jaishri Namdeo, 29, was standing with her groom onstage in the city of Bhopal when Anurag Singh allegedly stormed up the aisle and shot her at point-blank range.

Dr Namdeo, a paediatrician, was hit in the neck and died later in hospital. Her husband, Rohit Namdeo (right), a surgeon, survived the attack

Singh, who had entered the wedding disguised as a photographer, then attempted to shoot himself but missed and grazed a nearby guest, allowing witnesses to tackle him to the ground.

They then disarmed the shooter and beat him violently until police arrived.

Namdeo, a pediatrician, died later in hospital from a single wound to the neck. Her husband, Rohit Namdeo, a surgeon, survived the attack.
