"The incident came to light early on Saturday, around 3 am. Her husband and child were apparently asleep when she jumped off the balcony. Security guards of the society in the Bisrakh area noticed it and informed the family," an officer said.

According to the woman's family, she had mental health issues and was struggling with depression for quite some time now, the officer said, ruling out any foul play in the case.

No suicide note was found from the spot, he added. The body has been sent for post-mortem after which it would be handed over to the family, the police said.
