Assistant Commissioner of Police N R Jadav said: Akruti had married Arvind,a textile businessman,some five years ago. The couple and their child stayed jointly along with two other brothers of Arvind. They all had the same family business.

He added: The couple wanted to stay in a separate house because of which there were frequent quarrels in the family. We suspect this might have driven her to take this drastic step.

Javad said they have now asked Akrutis parents to come from Junagadh for the investigations.
