A suicide note found in the Paharganj hotel room where 31-year-old AIIMS doctor Priya Vedi was discovered dead and a similar Facebook post by her on Saturday afternoon revealed that her husband's sexual orientation had led to the souring of the relationship between the doctor couple, police said.
Her Facebook profile page was this evening turned into a tribute page at around 7:30 P.M., probably by the IT team of the social networking website. The page read, "Remembering Priya Vedi", and the suicide note had disappeared from its timeline.
He was arrested yesterday from his residence in the AIIMS quarters after his wife, who was an anaesthetist at the premier hospital, was found dead with her wrist slit at a hotel in Paharganj. She is said to have checked in at the hotel following a fight with her husband.
