Meerut, May 14

A 35-year-old woman died after being allegedly thrown off the balcony of the third-floor building by her drug addict husband.

The incident took place in the Kalia Gardhi area under the Medical police station in the wee hours of Thursday.

The police said that Birendra Singh and Rajni were married for 12 years.

Birendra, a driver, was hooked to drugs and this, often, led to fights between the couple.

After one such showdown, Birendra allegedly pushed his wife off the third-floor balcony of their house and later fled the spot.

SP, City Vineet Bhatnagar said that efforts are on to arrest the accused.

Police said Birendra had spent a few months in jail earlier on charges of domestic violence.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
