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."

Gang used a plate to steal cash from ATMs, 3 held in Noida
Noida: A gang that stole cash stuck in ATMs by inserting fibre plates into the machine was busted on Tuesday with the arrest of three of the gang's members. Those arrested include Rohit Dang (26) and Vaibhav Batra (32), both residents of Sector 168, and Binas Dung (23), a resident of Delhi. According to DCP Yamuna Prasad, the gang would target ATMs, especially those located at street corners, and open their bottom panels using a master key. They would then insert a black fibre plate at the cash dispensing slot. When customers attempted to withdraw cash, the transaction would go through, but the money would be blocked by the plate. Once the customer left, assuming a technical failure, the accused would retrieve the trapped cash.

Prosecutors told the 12-person jury that they ran a business and forced victims into prostitution. During the trial, Matthews said the prosecution failed to prove its case and called some charges 'overblown.' He added that accusers 'voluntarily reconnected with Gibson and contradicted themselves repeatedly.' Before sentencing, the judge said the evidence showed 'the very worst of human behavior toward other human beings.' The judge stated that the verdict demonstrated prosecutors 'proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the diabolical conduct of the defendants occurred,' and the sentence reflected that. Matthews said Monday, 'We do respect the court's process and jury's decision, however we're disappointed with the verdict and the sentence. He maintains his innocence on many of these charges and may file an appeal or a motion for a new trial.' Ca$h Out, 34, was born in Columbus, Georgia. He signed with Epic Records and released his 2011 single "Cashin' Out," which reached No. 36 on the Billboard Hot 100.
