NRI woman allegedly commits suicide by jumping off 14th floor of a building in Ghaziabad

Ghaziabad: A 30-year-old NRI woman allegedly committed suicide by jumping from a high-rise building of Crossing Republic society in Vijay Nagar area in Ghaziabad.

Ankita, who had come to India from Canada about 15 days back, jumped off the 14th floor of the building on Tuesday, police said.

She was reportedly upset after talks between her parents and her boyfriend's family regarding their marriage failed, say police.

Ankita was a fashion designer and worked with a multi-national firm. Her parents live in Anand Vihar area of Delhi.

Around 9:45 pm, Vijay Nagar police got information that a woman's body was lying in a pool of blood in the compound of Tower Number GH-7 of Crossing Republic.
