Ms Gautam's family have alleged that Shilpa Gautam and Saurabh Meena had been in a relationship for the past three years.
An Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officer, Saurabh Meena, was arrested in connection with the suicide of a woman whose body was discovered hanging from a noose in his upscale Noida apartment.
Saturday afternoon, residents of the posh Lotus Boulevard apartment complex in Noida's Sector 100 were shocked when police personnel rushed to Tower 8 of the society. Upon arriving at Saurabh's flat, they found the body of Shilpa Gautam, a Human Resources official at Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), hanging from a rope made of cloth in one of the rooms.
Ms Gautam's family have alleged that Shilpa and Saurabh had been in a relationship for the past three years. They reportedly met through a dating app, and their relationship soon blossomed. Shilpa's father, OP Gautam, has accused Saurabh of deceit and physical abuse, claiming that the IRS officer had promised to marry Shilpa but failed to honour his commitment, leading to frequent arguments and alleged physical assaults.
