Police got a call around 2:30 AM about the incident following which a team rushed to the house where the nurse identified as Princy was living with her husband Seju.
Princy, who hailed from Kerala, was taken to a nearby hospital where she was declared dead.
She was working as a nurse in a hospital in the locality while her husband Seju runs a South Indian restaurant in the area and supplied food in two hospitals.
"It has so far not emerged that there was anything seriously wrong between the couple. They had small tiffs like every other married couple. There was no prior police complaint about any quarrel from Princy but what caused her to take the extreme step is not known," police said.
The couple was married in 2011 and as they were married for less than seven years, an SDM inquiry has been initiated in the case, a senior police official said.
Their neighbours have told investigators that the couple did not interact with them much.
