Angry with his wife for not delivering a male child, a man in Madhya Pradesh's Chhatarpur threw his wife and two daughters into a well on Sunday, killing one of his children instantly.

A man in Madhya Pradesh's Chhatarpur threw his wife and two daughters into a well on Sunday. The man was allegedly angry with his wife for "not being able to deliver a male child". While one of his daughters drowned, the woman and her six-month-old infant managed to escape with injuries.

The incident happened on Sunday evening in Madhya Pradesh's Chhatarpur when the man was bringing his wife back from his in-laws' place.

Instead of going back home, the man stopped near a dug-well with no embarkment. He parked his bike near the well and pushed his wife and daughters into it. He then fled the spot, leaving his wife and daughters crying for help.

While the woman managed to climb out of the well with her three-month-old daughter, the couple's eldest daughter drowned. With the help of the locals, the woman reached the police station and filed a complaint against her husband.

SI Rajendra Singh told that the man had been threatening to kill the woman and his daughters for a while. The police have initiated a search
