New Delhi: Mohammad Munawar, the husband of the 27-year-old woman who allegedly flung her two children from the terrace of a building, said she would often demand more money than what he earned and this was the main reason for fights between the two. The woman had also consumed anti-depressant pills before taking the extreme step, Munawar said.

On Monday night, Alia flung her daughter Mehak (8) and son Afan (4) from the terrace of their building in Laxmi Nagar in east Delhi. Later, she also jumped off the terrace, police said. Alia is undergoing treatment at the a hospital and is out of danger, the police added. Married for nearly nine years, Munawar owns an auto spare parts shop, while Alia is a homemaker. "She often demanded more money that what I earned to run the house. This was also the issue which would lead to fights," he said. Before the incident, Munawar said he received a call from Alia and sounded furious.
