New Delhi, February 27

In a tragic incident, a couple of Ghaziabad died within less than 24 hours.

Abhishek (25) and Anjali Ahluwalia (21), who were married on November 23 last year, had begun their day on Monday with a visit to the zoo along with Abhishek’s sister Khushi. Abhishek’s cousin Sanjeev Karanwal said while they were at the zoo, Abhishek complained of chest pain to Anjali at 4.30 pm.

“Anjali and Khushi tried to ease his pain and managed to take him to Safdarjung Hospital and informed us. We sent Anjali home, but Abhishek lost his life after two hours,” added Sanjeev. The family later brought Abhishek’s body to the house at night.

The couple resided on the seventh floor of Ahlcon Apartments at Vaishali with Abhishek’s family. Unable to bear the news of Abhishek’s death, Anjali jumped from the building, said Sanjeev.

Another relative said, “She hugged his body tightly for the last time and ran towards the balcony. She fixed the chair, climbed it and jumped from the seventh floor.”

The police said at 10 pm they received a call that a woman had jumped from a building. “She was taken to Max Hospital at night, but was in a critical condition and lost her life this morning. Further investigation is being conducted,” the police added.
