She allegedly jumped from the terrace of her home in Panchsheel Park on Friday.

The forensic team will reconstruct the events that led to her death, police added."A notice has been issued to her husband, his parents and other witnesses to join the investigation," he said.Mayank Singhvi allegedly told the police that he had received a text message from his wife, threatening to kill herself.
He claimed he was home at the time, but by the time he reached the terrace, she had already jumped.
He told the police that he took her to a hospital where she was declared dead.Ms Batra's brother Karan Batra said she had sent a series of messages to them before she died."My sister messaged us to call the police.
She said Mayank had locked her in a room.
