Chittoor (Andhra Pradesh): In a shocking new development in the Chittoor double murder case, the accused man claimed that her wife Padmaja consumed their daughter's tongue after killing her.
During the investigation, the accused Purushottam Naidu claimed, "My wife Padmaja, who thought of herself as Kalika, cut off our elder daughter Alekhya's tongue and ate it after killing her."
In an indication that even their daughter was influenced by such beliefs, Naidu revealed to the doctors that their daughter Alekhya used to tell him that he was a form of Arjuna.
"It is not your job to teach in college. You must continue the same fighting spirit which Arjuna exhibited while leading the Pandavas," Alekhya used to tell him, Naidu said.
Naidu further revealed that Alekhya used to talk about the Kali Yuga ending and the Satya Yuga beginning, with the belief that the onset of the coronavirus pandemic was an indicator of the same.
