MUMBAI: The message was allegedly sent by the man's girlfriend who was upset over his refusal to marry her.

The duo had an argument on Sunday morning and the woman strangulated the businessman later while he was asleep, police said on Wednesday after producing her in a city court following her arrest.

According to the police, the deceased, 47-year-old Mohammed Mansuri, was a resident of Mira Road and he had a business in Malad. On Sunday evening, his wife received a message from his mobile phone stating, "I am committing suicide and my wife is responsible for it."
