Meghnaad was the eldest among Raavan's sons. He was also very mighty like Raavan, rather he was mightier than Raavan. It is said that when he was born he made a loud noise like the roar of clouds, that is why he was named as Megh (clouds) + Naad (sound) = clouds' roar. His another name was Indrajeet because he had won Indra. Once Indra had captured Raavan, so Meghnaad went and got him back and captured Indra. Since than he became known as Indrajeet. He was killed by Lakshman Jee in Raam-Raavan war.

When Hanumaan went to Lankaa in search of Seetaa, it was only Meghnaad who tied him with Varun Paash and brought him to Raavan's court.

His wife's name was Satee Sulochanaa. She was one of the five Satee of Hindu Mythology. It is said that when Meghnaad was killed, his one arm flew and fell in the courtyard of his palace. Sulochanaa got very surprised to see the arm. Then she recognized it as her husband's arm. She wept bitterly and made it write the name of the killer of her husband with the power of her being Satee, and it wrote the name.
