Tragic final selfie shows young lovers holding guns moments before they died

A married woman and her lover allegedly posed with guns before they died in what police in India believe was a suicide pact, according to reports.

Heartbreaking pictures show the tragic couple holding the weapons shortly before their deaths.

They have been named in press reports as Anju Suthaar and Shamkar Chaudhary, both aged 21.

It is thought they uploaded the images and video on social media before taking their own lives.

According to News 18 , they left an audio message saying they had fallen in love.

The Times of India reports that Anju had married less than two months earlier.

It happened in the village of Leelasar in Jaisalmer.

An investigation has been launched to find out how the couple got the pistols.

SP Rashi Dogra told the Times of India: "We will talk to the friends and family of the couple and find out from where they got the country-made pistols."

They are thought to have been under the influence of alcohol when the tragedy happened.
