On September 8, Amit left for Delhi to take part in his son's engagement ceremony after which she took the extreme step, possibly due to depression, they said.She allegedly ended her life by hanging herself to a ceiling fan at Amit's house, where she was alone yesterday.Police are likely to call the Group Captain for questioning tonight, they said.Anjali's postmortem was conducted today and its report is awaited.Police will also record the statement of her family members and depending upon its content may register a case of abetment of suicide against Amit.Anjali, who had accused her senior officers of sexually abusing her, was dismissed by the IAF in February 2006 after she was found guilty on seven counts.
