Parvati and Duryodhan, who had moved to the NCR city from Odisha two years ago in search of better opportunities, were enjoying the pleasant weather on their terrace around 10.30pm on July 15. What began as innocent banter turned tragic when Parvati climbed onto the parapet and playfully asked her husband, "If I fall, will you save me?"
As she attempted to step down, Parvati lost her footing and began to slip.
Duryodhan (28) lunged forward and managed to grab her hand, holding on to her desperately as she dangled from the edge.
For nearly two minutes, he called out for help, but with no one around, his grip eventually gave way.
And Parvati fell to the ground below.
Despite Duryodhan's frantic calls for help and the swift arrival of a police team along with an ambulance, Parvati succumbed to her injuries within half an hour of being wheeled into a private hospital. She had suffered severe internal damage.
Cops at DLF-3 police station said they had initiated an inquiry into the "tragic incident".
"No, there were no signs of foul play. Marks on the husband's hands and chest support his statement that he tried to save his wife. He broke down saying he lost everything when we questioned him about the sequence of events," an officer said.
The couple, who had been married for around two and a half years, worked at a private firm in the city and had been building a new life together.
It was around 10pm that they had gone to the terrace of their rented apartment to escape the heat when the incident occurred.

After an autopsy, Parvati's body was handed over to her family. Devastated by the loss, Duryodhan posted a heartbreaking message on Instagram on Saturday, pleading for his wife to return.
"You are my life, you are everything to me. Please come back. I'm waiting to hear your voice, feel your presence, your touch."

Bengaluru: A 19-year-old youth with an Instagram account named 'Dilbar Jaani-67' was arrested for filming women in various locations and uploading the videos to his account with the tagline 'Bangalore Night Life'. The police, who were monitoring social media platforms, found the account and registered a suo-motu case as the videos were obscene in nature. Recently, a man from Punjab was arrested for a similar offence. According to the complaint filed by Ashok Nagar police sub-inspector Nabi Saab, the accused is identified as Dilavar Hussain MD, a resident of Byrathi in Kothanur. Hussain is a native of Manipur and is working as a delivery boy for a major online food delivery firm. He used to record videos of girls and women walking on streets such as MG Road, Church Street, Brigade Road, Koramangala, Indiranagar, and other areas. Many videos he filmed showed women from their back and the police considered them obscene. The PSI in his complaint stated Hussain uploaded the videos to his Instagram profile to gain more followers. A case has been registered under the Information Technology Act section 67 (Punishment for publishing or transmitting obscene material in electronic form). During interrogation, Hussain told police that he was filming women for the last three months and uploaded over 14 videos to his account. The police are going to write to Instagram to delete the account. Hussain is yet to be produced before the court.
