Boy throws fiancee from 5th floor roof-top a day before marriage

New Delhi, Apr 29 (UNI) The Delhi Police today arrested a person for allegedly killing his fiancee by throwing her from the fifth floor roof-top of her house at Karol Bagh in Central Delhi last night.

The police spokesman said Deepak, a 24 year-year-old youth, had been nabbed by the police after receiving a complaint at 0130 hrs from the family of the girl.

Mukta, who was to get married to Deepak tomorrow, died on the spot, the police said.

A dispute on dowry was reported to be the cause of alleged murder, police said.

Mukta(22) and Deepak knew each other for the past nine years and had fled to Haridwar in Uttaranchal few days back to solemnise their marriage. After their arrival in the Capital, both families decided to arrange a formal marriage.

The marriage was scheduled to be held on April 30.

Deepak was given Rs 10,000 by the mother of Mukta to arrange the ceremony, but demanded more.

Both Deepak and Mukta went to the roof of the five-storied house to discuss the matter, but it snowballed into an argument.

Deepak allegedly threw Mukta from the roof-top in a fit of rage.

Further inquiry was on.
