Amit Bachchan and Shivani got married in November last year and neighbours told police that they had a strained relationship fraught with frequent quarrels.

Last night, Amit returned home after a party and an argument broke out between the couple, police said.

Amit hit Shivani at head with some sharp-edged object.

Shivani, who works in a private company in Gurgaon, suffered severe head injuries.

Later, Amit hanged himself from the ceiling fan using the cable which later broke and the body fell down, police said.

Amit's mother Chandrakanta (58) was found locked in a room while Shivani was locked in another room of their flat in Platinum Heights apartment in Sector 18-B of Dwarka. The incident came to light at around 5:30 AM when a PCR call was made by a security guard of the building after hearing Shivani's call for help.

"A police team reached the spot and found the eighth floor flat bolted from inside. We had to enter the house from a neighbour's balcony," said Additional DCP (southwest) Chinmoy Biswal.

Shivani was found injured. She could not make a phone call because her mobile was in another room. She had also thrown a flower pot from the window of her room to garner attention but it went unnoticed. Later, her screams were heard by a security guard who made a PCR call.

Amit's body was lying on the floor with a TV cable wrapped around his neck.

"We have not recovered any suicide note from the spot. There are no signs of forced entry in the house and prima facie it seems that Amit tried to kill his wife and then committed suicide.

"Shivani, who is out of danger now has told us that she was sleeping in another room when Amit attacked her," said Biswal.

Police is investigating the case under section 174 CrPc and looking into other angles as well. Crime and forensic teams have picked circumstantial evidence from the spot.

Bachchan's body has been sent for postmortem, police said.

Ahmedabad, Jan 20: Cops in Gandhinagar fell in a catch-22 situation when a state government employee approached them with a complaint that the 26-year-old woman class teacher of his 14-year-old son had gone missing taking his son in tow. The man, who works at Udyog Bhavan in Gandhinagar said the woman had seduced his teenage son, who studies in class VIII and taken him away with her. The boy had gone missing from 4pm on Friday, and the classteacher was also missing.

A police official said the woman teacher had been too intimate with the allegedly missing boy for around a year, and the school authorities had recently rebuked them. “As their relationship was unaccepted, they left their homes on Friday,” he said. It was rare to find a case of a woman teacher eloping with her teenage student, the official added.

An FIR for elopement under Section 363 IPC has been registered with Kalol city police in Gandhinagar district. The complaint stated the teacher is a resident of Darbari chawl in Kalol town.

“When I reached home at around 7pm, I found my son missing. My wife told me he had left home at around 4pm. We searched for him in the neighbourhood and among relatives, but couldn’t trace him,” claims the teenage boy’s father in the FIR. “I went to the teacher’s house but they were not there,” the man stated.

Inspector K K Desai of Kalol city police said the missing duo could not be traced as they were not carrying cellphones.
