Agra: A 26-year-old man has been arrested for making his wife drink mosquito repellent liquid and then strangulating her to death for talking to another man on WhatsApp.

The incident took place in Agra and the accused has been identified as Sonu, a vegetable seller. The victim's name is Anjali. According to reports, the couple was married for the last nine years and were parents to two children, aged four and six.

Anjali's body was found in an empty plot near their residence in the Sudampuri area on Thursday. According to Station House Officer of Etmadud-Daula police station, Udayveer Singh Malik:
