He alleged in the suicide note that he got work of Mukta Rao's flat done, but she did not make full payment due to which he was facing pressure from vendors.

He met the couple earlier on Thursday and explained his situation and demanded the remaining amount, but they said that they can give only Rs 1 lakh due to which he got extremely disappointed and returned home.

"A case against Mukta Rao and her husband Vijay Dhaka has been registered for abetment to suicide," the DCP said.

Another official said that the family members have refused to accept the body and are demanding arrest of the accused.

Mukta Rao, the topper of RAS exam-2018, currently posted as Assistant Settlement Officer in Jaipur could not be reached for comments.
