Bullet-riddled bodies of the two were taken to Agartala for post-mortem examinations, Udaipur Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) Debanjali Roy told news agency PTI.
“Around 4.30 pm on Wednesday, we received information about a firing incident at Holashet. A police team rushed there and found the woman dead in a vehicle while his partner was screaming for help," the SDPO said.

The man succumbed to his injuries while he was taken to the Gomati district hospital. The pistol was recovered by the police 20 meters from where the vehicle was stationed.
“It appears that the man first shot his lover dead and then killed himself by using the same weapon. The investigation is still at the primary stage. We could not rule out the involvement of a third party. Police are exploring all angles. But it is almost certain that the incident took place due to love affairs," Roy was quoted as saying by PTI.
In a separate news, a disturbing incident from Atal Awas Colony in Chhattisgarh's Bilaspur has left the neighbourhood shaken, after a married couple was found dead inside their house. What first seemed like a routine domestic quarrel has now turned into a shocking case involving handwritten lipstick messages on wall, suicide note and suspicions of murder.
Police suspect it to be a case of murder-suicide, with the man having killed his wife on suspicion of her closeness with another man.
The incident reportedly took place on Monday. When police entered the house, they found 30-year-old Shivani Tambe, also known as Neha, dead on the bed, while her husband, Raj Tambe, was discovered hanging from a ceiling fan in the same room, NDTV reported.
The police also found messages scribbled on the walls in lipstick, filled with accusations, grief, and desperation, as per the report.
