Ghaziabad: A shocking incident came to limelight from Ghaziabad's Govindpuram, where a woman died after she was allegedly thrown off the third floor of a building by her husband following an argument.

The police said the incident occurred on Friday when the accused Vikas Kumar, a parking contractor,  returned home in an inebriated condition.
