NEW DELHI: A man was arrested for allegedly beating his wife in outer Delhi’s Alipur on Sunday.
The woman was found lying injured near a drain in Alipur with her 9-month-old daughter.
Police are also searching for the man’s brother, who is a co-accused.
The woman was identified as Shivani, and her daughter as Divyanshi.
“Shivani was taken to Babu Jagjivan Ram Memorial Hospital, but because her condition was critical, she was referred to Safdarjung Hospital,” said an officer.
In her statement, Shivani alleged that her husband and brother-in-law had assaulted her and then dumped her in Alipur.
Police have registered a case under IPC 308 for attempt to culpable homicide.
DCP (Outer North) Rajiv Ranjan said, the woman provided two contact numbers.
“On the basis of technical surveillance, the location of her husband was traced to Panipat.
Efforts are being made to trace the co-accused,” the DCP said.
