The incident was reported from south Delhi’s Green Park Extension area around 11.30 p.m. Monday.
“She resided in a rented accommodation along with her husband Dheeraj and in-laws,” said a police official.
Preliminary investigation suggested that she jumped from the terrace of the building as she was apparently disturbed over her in-laws harassing her for dowry, said the official.

The woman’s father gave a police complaint alleging that his daughter was being harassed by her in-laws for dowry that led her to take such a step.
