*Amit Bachchan, a 32-year-old software engineer, allegedly hanged himself by a cable wire at his Dwarka home after grievously stabbing his wife Shivani Patni for reportedly refusing to have sex with him.*
A profusely bleeding Shivani told the police that she managed to evade certain death by locking herself in a room, all the while attempting to contact her family and the police.
When nothing worked, she even hurled a flower pot eight floors below in a bid to attract the security guard's attention.
Amit's family, however, contested these claims, alleging that 30-year-old Shivani first murdered her husband before making a botched attempt to end her own life. The only other person in the three-bedroom flat where the incident took place was Amit's mother, who found herself locked in her room without her mobile phone.
The police said prima facie evidence suggested that Amit assaulted his wife before hanging himself from the ceiling fan. They have, however, not ruled out other possibilities, including the presence of more people in the flat during the incident. Amit and Shivani were married for only two months. While Bachchan worked for ION Trading Company in Noida, Shivani was employed at a business travel management company in Gurgaon.
Both families confirmed that the couple fought often, even since before marriage.
Shivani mostly chose to live at her parents' home, a few blocks away from her husband's rented flat in Platinum Heights in south west Delhi's Dwarka Sector 18. Reported by Deccan Herald 20 hours ago.
