Bhumi Desai, the wife of Kunal, a popular radio jockey in Gujarat, committed suicide by jumping off a ten-storey residential building at Anandnagar in Ahmedabad on Thursday.

Police have registered a case of accidental death and sent the body for post-mortem. "We are yet to find out the exact reason behind her extreme step," said Anandnagar police inspector PV Jadeja.

According to Jadeja, Bhumi committed suicide by jumping off the terrace of the Sachin Tower near Shyamal Crossroad in the city.

Police have revealed that Bhumi drove to Sachin Tower with the motive of killing herself. "Before coming to the spot, she had sent an SMS to one Mitesh Soni around 2 pm, stating that she is going to commit suicide at Sachin Tower and then she jumped off the terrace at around 2.30 pm," Jadeja said.

After learning about the incident, Mitesh, along with Bhumi's family members, rushed to the spot.

Bhumi and Kunal wed on 24 November 2015. According to police, the couple had returned from a trip to Bangkok on 18 January.

Further investigation into the case is on.
