She came to the party but said she did not want to patch up with Tapas. Upset with this, Tapas jumped from the seventh floor and fell to death, the probe has found.
Tapas’s family had filed a police complaint against his ex-girlfriend, accusing her of harassing him. Soon after, police registered an abetment to suicide case. Earlier, Noida police said they were investigating the tragic incident from all angles.
