According to the police, Pooja Solanki gave birth to twin girls in a hospital in Sector 36 in Haryana's Rohtak on May 30.
Pooja's husband, Neeraj Solanki, and her in-laws were unhappy that she had given birth to girls, they said.
"On June 1, after getting discharged from the hospital, Pooja decided to go to her parents' house in Rohtak. Neeraj and his family members reached the hospital and took the children and asked Pooja to follow their car in another car.
