New Delhi: A woman and her brother were arrested on Friday for killing her husband.

Meena Devi, a native of New Delhi was fed up with her husband Ram Vishal, who tortured her for not giving birth to a male child. Meena had a baby girl in the past, who died a year ago due to malnourishment. After the girl's death, Meena's husband used to torture her for a male heir and he also made her to undergo abortion several times after knowing that it was a girl again.

In their 18-year of marriage Vishal used to torture her daily. On Sunday, her husband asked her to get into a relationship with his brother to have a baby boy. When she refused, he beat her up and threatened her to get her gangraped and that she would be sold to a brothel. Meena said that she suffered for over 4 years and wanted to get rid off him.

She then hatched a plan with her brother Bal Govindto kill her husband along. She served dinner laced with sleeping pills to her husband and then she smothered him with the help of her brother. Next morning she called police and pretended that her husband had committed suicide. She said that two of Vishal's friends had visited their house the previous night and left early in the morning after having an argument till late at night. Meena said that she was sleeping in the other room and didn't hear what they were arguing about.

She said when she woke up, she found her husband's body hanging. The door was locked from outside. She then called her brother to help her.

During the investigation the police found some discrepancies in Meena's statement. When they saw the CCTV footage, police surprised to see that Bal Govind locking the door from outside. Upon interrogation they both confessed to murder of Vishal, and claimed that he often used to torture for a heir.
