A day outing to the Delhi zoo for a young couple in Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad turned fatal after the man, 25 died of a heart attack, and the wife - unable to bear the shock, jumped to death from the seventh floor. 

According to an NDTV report, Abhishek Ahluwalia and his wife Anjali went to the Delhi Zoo on Monday when Abhishek started to experience pain in his chest, as per the relatives. Anjali then called up his friends who took the young man to Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital from where he was then referred to Safadarjung Hospital. 

Later in the day, doctors pronounced Abhishek dead with a heart attack being identified as the cause of death. 

At around 9 pm, his mortal remains reached the couple's home at Ahlcon Apartments in Ghaziabad's Vaishali. 

Unable to bear the untimely death of her husband, Anjali rushed to the balcony on the seventh floor from where she jumped and suffered serious injuries. 

She was rushed to Max Hospital in Vaishali but breathed her last in the early hours of Tuesday. 

The couple got married on November 30, as per the report. 

Speaking to NDTV, Abhishek's relative Babita said that after the young man's body was brought home, Anjali sat next to it and cried. 

"Then she suddenly got up and ran towards the balcony. I figured that she was going to jump. I ran after her, but before I could stop her, she had jumped," the relative said.

Another relative, Sanjiv told the news publication that Abhishek was first taken to Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital, which is about 20 kilometres from the zoo. 

"They told Abhishek's friends to take him to Safdarjung. I reached there too. I spoke to the doctor. He told me they tried their best, but could not save him," said Sanjiv.
