BENGALURU: The mystery over the death of a doctor’s wife, who fell from the fifth floor of her apartment complex in RR Nagar on Sunday evening, has deepened further.While 25-year-old Sonal Agarwal’s paediatrician-husband Dr Avinash Agarwal complained to police that his wife had been pushed to death, investigators said they found US dollars, a few gold ornaments and a door key, belonging to residents of a neighbouring flat, in the dead woman’s inner wear.Investigators suspected Sonal, a resident of flat no. 501 on the fifth floor of Mantri Alpyne Apartments on Uttarahalli Main Road, RR Nagar, had entered flat no. 505 on the same floor using a key before the fatal fall.Preliminary investigation revealed Sonal, mother of an infant boy, was coming out of flat 505 when she slipped from the balcony and fell to death.Dr Avinash, who works with Kempegowda Institute of Medical Science (KIMS), and Sonal were married for three years. The couple is from Chhattisgarh and had shifted to the apartment in April this year.Acting on Dr Avinash’s complaint, accusing unidentified persons of pushing his wife to death, RR Nagar police have registered a case of murder under Section 302 of Indian Penal Code.Lost key was with Sonal: CopsPolice said the door key recovered from Sonal belonged to flat 505. “A businessman by name V Prasad from Shivamogga stays in flat 505 with his wife and in-laws. The family shifted to the flat in July and Prasad owns a software firm with its office in JP Nagar,” an investigating officer said.Last week, the Agarwals visited Prasad’s house after Prasad’s wife invited them to participate in Ganesh festivities.“Sonal visited Prasad’s house on the evening of September 13 and spent more than two hours there. Women from neighbouring flats recall that Sonal sat in the bedroom for a long time, while the others sat in the hall where the idol had been kept,” police said, adding: “The same night, one set of the door key, which is kept near the main door, went missing. The Prasads thought they must have misplaced it somewhere inside the house itself.”On Sunday, the apartment occupants had gathered on the roof for a cultural get-together. “The get-together began around 5pm and no one remembers seeing Sonal taking part in it. Around 6.30pm, Prasad’s father-in-law, a senior citizen, decided to go home and went down. It was then that he allegedly saw Sonal coming out of the house. Before he could ask her anything, she is said to have jumped off the balcony in front of the flat,” police said.Ravi D Channananavar, deputy commissioner of police (west), said they are probing the case from all angles. “It is too early to say whether it was an accidental fall, a suicide or a murder. We have recovered some valuables from the woman and they belonged to the occupants of flat 505. We shall scan CCTV footages for more details,” he said.
