The woman was found culpable during the investigation, said officers, adding that she was produced before court on Monday.
Police said the incident took place at Supreme Tower Society in Noida’s Sector 99 at 4.30 am on Saturday. The student, who was in his second year, had come to visit his friends living in the building. “Around 4.30 pm, he fell from the 7th floor of an 18-storey building under suspicious circumstances. He was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment where doctors declared him dead,” an officer had said.
The body was found in a secluded area, which has been under construction for several months. Police said the victim’s family had alleged foul play. “The father of the boy had filed a case against his classmate for abetment of suicide. We investigated all possible angles following which she (the classmate) was arrested on Saturday and produced in court on Monday,” said Deputy Commissioner of Police, Noida, Ram Badan Singh.
A case was registered under section 108 (abetment of suicide) of the BNS based on the father’s complaint. Singh also told The Indian Express that the post-mortem report of the deceased states that the death was due to ante-mortem injury.
Jitendra Kumar Singh, Station House Officer of Noida’s Sector 39 police station, said the woman and the deceased had been in a relationship for over two years. Recently, the woman called it off and the student was upset about it, he said.
“On Saturday, they met at his friend’s flat (in Noida) and the conversation of their relationship cropped up… we suspect this upset him, following which he jumped off the building,” said the SHO.
The DCP said both of them studied in the same class.
Initially, police had also called other students present at the flat for questioning but they were not found to be involved in the death.
