According to Sharda Prasad Tiwari, his daughter had been living with her husband, Ravindra Dwivedi, and their two children on the 4th floor of the Aravali Enclave apartment complex.

Speaking to reporters, Tiwari said, "He has thrown her from the 10th floor and killed her." He further claimed that the son-in-law had been tormenting his daughter for financial reasons ever since their marriage.

"For many years I sent him Rs 10,000 every month. However, I stopped sending him money after he started threatening us. He threatened us for not getting the money during a strike of bank employees," the woman's father said.
