In the meantime, Shripat started banging on the door and called the neighbours for help to break it open. On entering the flat, he found Priyanka hanging from the ceiling fan. Though she was immediately rushed to the Bhakti Vidhanta hospital, doctors declared her dead on arrival. Speaking on condition of anonymity, an officer from Kashimira police station said, "Priyanka's parents passed away long ago. Her uncle had raised her. Her relatives wanted her husband to have a house in Mumbai. But Priyanka and Shripat fell in love with each other and got married. As they were staying in a rented apartment, Priyanka often pushed him to buy a house, but Shripat always told her they were not in a position to get one. Maybe she was upset over this and hence, took the extreme step."
