wifi switching itself on automatically

Wifi is turning itself on automatically. Two types of incidents.
1. I am using mobile data connection and when I switch it off after some time wifi turns itself on.  Let me add here that I dnt have any battery tweaker or third party apps like that. Able to see that its happeneing mainly whenever I am getting any mails (gmail) .

2. The mobile finds some open wifi connection within it's limit.
Thought of consulting with you people before heading to any sony service center Face_with_rolling_Eyes

It does the same! but at any moment, not necessarily with gmail 😕

Do you have location based Wi-Fi enabled under settings > power management? 

Also check Smart Connect so you don't have any event enabled that is triggering Wi-Fi to activate.

Have you looked in power management and see if wifi by location is enabled?

Location based wifi is OFF moreover I don't have any wifi saved in my mobile

Turn the phone on normally after.
