A bride was allegedly shot dead by a man whose marriage proposal she had rejected, Hindustan Times reported.

The wedding ceremony was happening in India's Mathura's Mubarikpur village of Naujheel area on Friday.

Kajal was shot right after the "Jai Mala" ritual.

The family had rushed to the venue after hearing the gunshot. The father registered a complaint at a police station soon after the incident.
