In Gurugram, a husband pushed his wife off the second floor following a domestic dispute. The woman, who sustained severe injuries from the fall, passed away while undergoing treatment in Meerut.
Initially, the husband misled the police and family members by claiming that his wife had jumped on her own after an argument; however, upon regaining consciousness in the hospital, the woman told her maternal family that her husband had pushed her. The Gurugram Police registered a case of murder and arrested the accused husband.
**Police receive information**

**Husband’s conflicting account**
The woman was originally from Sadhu Nagar, Meerut. Initially, her husband, Dharmendra (alias Akash), claimed that on the night of October 7, following a heated domestic dispute, his wife had attempted suicide by jumping from the balcony. However, while undergoing treatment in Meerut, Pallavi told her mother that her husband had assaulted her and then pushed her off the balcony. Based on the complaint filed by Pallavi’s mother, the Sector-14 police registered a murder case.
