New Delhi: The probe in the death case of the air hostess Anissia led to the arrest of her husband on Monday. The arrest came after the case of dowry death was registered and police issued a lookout circular against him in connection with the case. The further probe in the case has revealed that apart from her husband, the woman on July 11 allegedly before jumping from the terrace had sent a message to one of her known person possibly a friend who will be questioned.
According to police, the second postmortem of the deceased by the panel of the doctor was conducted on Monday and it was also video graphed as the family during the first autopsy wanted videography. After the investigation, the police issued the notice to the deceased's husband, his parents and other witnesses to join the investigation. "Though crime team has collected the relevant evidences, the FSL team has been called to reconstruct the scene of the crime," said the DCP (South) Romil Baaniya adding that they had issued a lookout circular against the deceased's husband.
The woman had been married for over two years and used to live with her husband in Panchsheel Enclave. Before jumping off the terrace, she had sent a message to her husband that she was jumping from the terrace and would kill herself, police said. When he reached there, a labourer from the adjacent house told him that she had jumped. Her husband, a software engineer in Gurgaon, told police that they had regular fights as there were "compatibility issues". They had an argument on Friday as well, following which she jumped from the terrace, police said.
Ever since Anissia had died, her family was accusing the police of inaction. They also alleged that her husband had wiped all the evidence since the crime spot was not sealed by the police. However, DCP denied the allegations. "The allegations about action delay by police are not true. The crime team reached the spot as and when they were informed. The allegations made by parents are being considered and therefore a team from the Forensic Science Laboratory team was sent to the spot for recreating the crime scene," he said.
The DCP added that the property was not sealed since the evidences had already been lifted from the spot.
