Karimnagar:

A man allegedly killed his four-year-old twin daughters following frequent family disputes in Telangana's Karimnagar n Friday, police said.

The accused, Kachhu Srisailam, a resident of Jubilee Nagar in Karimnagar Rural, was married to Mounika six years ago. The couple had twin daughters, Geethanshi and Geethanvika, both aged four.

According to police and family members, Srisailam had been unhappy since the birth of the children as both were girls, while he wanted a son. This often led to arguments between him and his wife.

On Friday evening, following another dispute, Srisailam allegedly took the children to agricultural fields on the outskirts of the village. Family members suspect he drowned them in a nearby well.

The body of Geethanshi was recovered from the well, while Geethanvika was initially missing. After hours of search, police, along with expert swimmers, recovered the second body as well.

Villagers, who came to know about the incident, caught Srisailam, assaulted him and handed him over to the police. He has since been taken into custody.

Police are also probing whether the children were given a poisonous substance before being thrown into the well.

Karimnagar Rural Circle Inspector A. Niranjan Reddy said preliminary investigation indicates frequent family disputes, primarily over the birth of daughters. "We are examining all angles, including whether the children were poisoned before being thrown into the well," he said.

Assistant Commissioner of Police Vijay Kumar visited the spot and reviewed the situation. Heavy police deployment has been made in the area to maintain law and order.
