Indian man pushes wife into canal while taking selfie

The couple developed differences over dowry, police said

A man pushed his wife into a canal while taking a selfie with her in the Indian city of Meerut, police said on Tuesday.

According to a police spokesperson, the 24-year-old victim, Ayesha, was thrown into the Ganga canal by her husband over dowry issues, reported NDTV.

The couple had married one-and-a-half-years ago.

After the incident, husband Aftab reported to the police, saying robbers pushed his wife into the waterway during a mugging bid.



However, investigation revealed loopholes in the husband's version, and police also recovered the victim's body.

Aftab, who is police custody, later confessed to the crime, and a case was registered against him.
