The Circle Officer (Sadar) Ajendra Yadav said, "On Saturday, the two were on their way to Doon to spend the weekend when they stopped at a restaurant. Singh's wife went to the washroom. When she came back, the duo had some discussion...The CCTV footage shows that the couple kept getting in and out of their car."

He then said that the doctor also received a few phone calls before the incident happened, which made him angry.

His spouse was reported to be standing a few meters away from him when the incident took place. The SSP Saharanpur told TOI, "His wife said she is unable to understand the reason behind the extreme step. He had told her that he was not feeling well...,". 

According to a media report in the news18, the police reached the spot and sent the body for post-mortem, after he died on the spot. The police have begun the investigation.
