A 23-year-old software engineer died and her boyfriend was injured after a fall
Both fell around 12.15pm.
A senior police officer said the couple, who were from Puducherry, had been in a relationship for six years. Police said tensions had recently developed between the two after Velu allegedly got engaged to another woman. “Once Velu is in a condition to give his statement, we will question him and know further details about the incident,” a senior officer said.
The development reportedly led to frequent arguments between the couple. Police suspect Janani decided to end her life by jumping from the seventh floor and may have pulled Velu along as she jumped. Velu works for a logistics company in Puducherry. Police have registered an unnatural death report at Whitefield police station based on a complaint filed by Janani’s aunt.
Janani had rented a room at the PG only on Saturday and was staying there with Velu, according to police. On Sunday morning, Janani and Velu allegedly had a quarrel before going to the terrace of the building.
