Sector 10's Station House Officer, Budhi Prakash told IANS that for the last three weeks, the deceased's mother, Kusum Devi was also staying with them. The husband and wife had some heated arguments Sunday night over the consumption of alcohol by Amit.

"After sending her daughter to school, Minakshi told her mother that she was going to the temple. She went to the nearby Karamyogi apartments. In the entry register at the gate, she wrote that she was to visit a beauty parlour in Flat 203. In fact, the parlour is in Flat 303. Instead of going there, she went to the sixth floor and jumped from there," Budhi Prakash added.
