Civil Lines Police Station SHO, Sudhakar Pandey, who confirmed Pannalal's arrest told TOI :
"A priest had predicted that their sixth child would also be a girl. Pannalal then attacked Anita with a sickle on her abdomen to kill the fetus after she refused to have an abortion."
My brother-in-law often used to beat my sister for giving birth to five daughters. Our parents had intervened on several occasions.
But no one imagined that he would take such a cruel step," Anita Devi’s brother, Ravi Kumar Singh, told The Times of India.
