Accused had a relationship with the cousin of Priyanka Chopra, alleges victim's sister

A day after a woman was found hanging from a ceiling fan in her house at DLF phase II, Gurgaon, her husband Sumit Bhuttan has been arrested by Gurgaon police on Wednesday for allegedly killing her. The victim, Ruchi (28), worked at the same brokerage company, Angel Brokerage Pvt Ltd, as her husband.

"We have arrested Sumit under section 304B (dowry death) and 120B (criminal conspiracy) of the IPC. A police team has been sent to Delhi to arrest Meera Chopra, the other accused in the case. Further investigation is on progress," said a senior police official.

Ruchi's sister Sefali alleged: "Sumit first killed and then hanged her. He has an affair with model Meera Chopra, cousin sister of Priyanka Chopra."

"Ruchi had got married to Sumit six years ago. Sumit and his family used to torture her even for the smallest of things. They also demanded dowry from us.

Their main objective was to abuse her so much that she got frustrated and in turn agreed to divorce Sumit. Ruchi had talked to our mother on phone, hours before she was found dead. She had pleaded her to bring her back from Gurgaon," said Sefali.

Sumit denied the allegations though he admitted that he had heated arguments with his wife before the incident. "I had a good relation with my wife, both at home and in office. My brokerage house suffered heavy losses last week in the market. Maybe she got into depression because of this and took the extreme step," said Sumit. When MiD DAY tried to contact Meera Chopra, she was not available for comment.
