According to the FIR lodged by her father Liyakatali Makrani at Sabarmati Riverfront (West) police station a day later, Ayesha's husband Arif Babukhan inflicted mental torture on her and told her 'die if you want to, and send me a video'.

In the video, which went viral on social media, Ayesha can be heard saying she is not taking the step under any pressure.

As per police, she told her parents she did not want her husband in her life anymore and that she was tired of life.

A Sabarmati Riverfront (West) police station official said Arif Babukhan is yet to be arrested and probe into the incident continued.
