The body of Vrushali was found hanging at her Dombivali home on Saturday. Vrushali was married to Jayesh, a stockbroker, for five months.
Initial medical reports and police records attributed her death to hanging but her family members allege foul play. The Gaikwads believe their daughter was murdered, and suspect her husband might have killed her and made it look like suicide.
Based on their complaint, Ram Nagar police have taken Jayesh Gawade, 30, Vrushali's husband, into custody.
According to the Gaikwads, Vrushali had telephoned her mother on June 16 at around 8.30 am and told her that she would be coming to Mulund to meet her and transfer some money to her account.
But when Vrushali did not call or turn up until 11 am, the Gaikwads got worried. They tried contacting Vrushali, but there was no response and after several attempts they contacted Jayesh who said he was in office.
Vrushali had been working in the aviation industry for seven years and had purchased the Mulund flat on loan. She is survived by her parents and sister who reside at the flat. Jayesh's family members were not reachable for comment.
