A newly married couple in Ghaziabad began their day with a visit to the zoo. However, within 24 hours, both were dead. A 25-year-old man, named Abhishek Ahluwalia suffered a heart attack at the zoo. His wife, Anjali, unable to bear the shock, died of suicide after jumping from the seventh floor of their building.

On Monday, the couple planned a visit to Delhi Zoo. As the couple reached there, Abhishek started feeling a pain in his chest, relatives said. His wife called up his friends and Abhishek was taken to Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital and then referred to Safdarjung Hospital.

Abhishek was declared dead later in the day. As his body reached the couple's home at Ahlcon Apartments in Ghaziabad's Vaishali, his wife couldn't deal with the shock. Anjali immediately rushed to their seventh-floor balcony and jumped. She was taken to Max Hospital, with serious injuries. On Tuesday, she breathed her last.

Abhishek's relative said, "After the body was brought home, she sat next to it, weeping. Then she suddenly got up and ran towards the balcony. I figured that she was going to jump. I ran after her, but before I could stop her, she had jumped."
