According to the police, she told investigators that she returned from a party and saw Saurabh consuming alcohol on the terrace.
They had a brief altercation following which she came downstairs, the police said, quoting her. When she was climbing down the stairs, she heard something falling down and later, found him lying in a pool of blood.
Neighbours rushed to the spot for help and called an ambulance but it did not come. The girl then called a friend who lived in neighbouring Noida.
