Both hands of a woman were fractured by her husband and in-laws in a village in Shahjahanpur, allegedly for giving birth to three daughters and not bearing a male child in eight years of married life, police said.

"The woman has suffered serious injuries and we are waiting for the medical report. Action will be taken against the suspects," Superintendent of Police (Rural) Subhash Chandra Shakya said today.

The incident took place in Babra village and came to light recently after the parents of Rekha Devi (30) dropped by for a visit and found her in an injured condition. They took her to a hospital and filed an FIR against her husband and in-laws, Shakya said. -- PTI
