Bidisha, 26, whose family lives in Guwahati’s Uzan Bazar, had married Jha last year and the couple reportedly did not have a cordial relationship. Jha was in Mumbai at the time of the incident and flew to Gurgaon late Monday night.

In his complaint, Bidisha’s father alleged that Jha had been harassing and threatening her. He claimed that Bidisha was upset and it prompted her to take the extreme step, Gurgaon police PRO Ravinder Kumar said.
Her fans wrote condolence messages on social media websites. Assam CM Sarbanda Sonowal, in a tweet, said that he has talked to his Haryana counterpart ML Khattar and ‘requested him to call an investigation into the unfortunate death of a girl from Assam in Gurugram’(sic).
Bidisha was known for the play, Xanto Xixto Histo Pusto Moha Dusto.
