Patna: A 22-year-old woman, Sophia Parveen, also known as Rukhsar, died after being allegedly pushed off the third-floor balcony of her apartment by her live-in partner, Amit Kumar, at Soho Nirmala Apartments in the Ashokpuri area of Patna.

CCTV footage that has since gone viral shows Rukhsar falling from the building and hitting the boundary wall of a nearby school before landing on the ground. Police said Amit then transported her body to the Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (IGIMS) in an auto-rickshaw.
