Quoting the initial investigation, police said the victim was unhappy with her husband and scuffles between the husband and wife were routine. The deceased allegedly committed suicide after being disheartened from married life, police said, adding that the incident was being investigated from different angles.
A few months ago, a newly-wed young woman also died after she fell from the sixth floor of a building in Karachi's Delhi Colony. Initially, her family claimed that she committed suicide, however, the police later arrested her mother-in-law and other in-laws for throwing her from the top of the building and killing her.
