GURGAON: A 33-year-old American Express executive was found dead by his wife on Friday morning inside his flat at Pyramid Paradise in Sector 76.She flew in from Mumbai after he stopped answering her calls following a fight over the phone on Thursday evening. The deceased was originally from Kanpur, while his wife, 32, is from UP’s Mirzapur.Police said the couple married four months ago but lived in different cities because the woman is employed with a private firm in Mumbai. The couple frequently fought, primarily because Sonam was not able to relocate to Delhi NCR due to her job, putting a strain on their marriage.An officer said that on Thursday, the couple had another argument, after which the man stopped answering his phone. “The woman continued trying to reach him and eventually contacted her mother-in-law, expressing concern,” the officer said. The deceased man’s mother told her to try again in the morning, saying he might be asleep.The man’s grandmother also passed away on Thursday night due to natural causes — though he remained unaware of this, as his phone went unanswered.The woman took an early morning flight to Gurgaon and reached the apartment at around 6.30am on Friday. She found the flat locked from the inside and received no response despite repeated calls and ringing the doorbell. She then contacted the building’s maintenance staff, and the door was forced open — only to find that her husband had died by suicide.Police were informed immediately, and forensic teams arrived at the scene. A team from Kherki Daula police station recorded statements from family members, and the body was sent for autopsy.During the inquiry, police said the deceased was under stress for the past few months and his family was aware of his condition. “No suicide note was found at the scene, and no signs of foul play emerged during the initial investigation,” the officer added.An inquest proceeding was initiated under Section 194 of BNSS, the officer further said. Following the autopsy, the body was handed over to the family for last rites.
