Gurugram: Woman allegedly pushed off balcony by husband

A 32-year-old woman was allegedly pushed off from the eight-floor of her Valley view Estate apartment by her husband on October 27. The woman pleaded with her husband to not to kill her and said that ‘Please do not kill me, I love our children,” reported Hindustan Times.

The woman identified as Deepika Chauhan had a five-year-old daughter and five-month-old son, who were reportedly asleep at the time of the incident. The accused has been identified as Vikram Chauhan.

According to police, ‘People do not kill me, I love our children’ are believed to be the last words of Deepika Chauhan, before she was allegedly pushed off from the eighth floor on October 27.

“The statement is from a neighbour, who is not willing to join the probe or be identified,” said Sanjeev Kumar, station house officer, DLF phase-1 police station.

“They also suggested the involvement of another person in the case who may have helped Vikram push her out, but is yet to be identified,” Kumar quoted by Hindustan Times as saying.

During the medical checkup, Police have discovered scratch marks on his wrist. Police called this a reason to suspect.

“The marks were discovered during a medical checkup a few days after the incident,” said SHO Kumar.

Police said that their investigation has revealed that Vikram had begun planning to kill his wife after she had “discovered” his alleged affair a few months ago with a woman named Shefali Bhasin who was arrested on Tuesday.

“His wife had been calling him through the day on October 27, which was Karvachauth, asking him to return home as she had observed a fast for him. When he returned in the evening, she told him that she was tired of his transgressions and was going over to Shefali’s house to confront her,” SHO Kumar told Hindustan Times.

“Vikram waited for his parents to leave at around 9.30 pm. He then lured Deepika to the balcony and from there he pushed her off at around 9.37pm. Neighbours say he ran down calling for help and they took her to a private hospital where she was declared dead on arrival,” the officer told Hindustan Times.
