The bodies were later recovered from the pit. The police said that they have found a purported suicide note left by the woman claiming that the health condition of the newborns made her resort to the extreme step. The woman had given birth to the twins at a local private hospital on February 11. It is said that the woman took the drastic step due to fear of a terminal illness in view of a low body weight of newborns, who were in the ICU at the hospital, after birth coupled with her premature delivery.
More importantly, it is said that the woman's fears were even more compounded by her tragic experience of losing her twins shortly after their birth in 2017. Soon after the twins were born, doctors had declared that one of the babies was crippled at birth, while the other had a hole in the heart. Both died within a week of their birth.

However, after her twin babies were shifted to the ICU at the hospital after birth, she feared that the children, too, will not survive and threw them into the pit and then ended her life. Narsingh Rao, who works as a driver, got married to Sandhya Rani (29) of Annanagar in Begumpet in 2012. At present, the couple is residing at Shivanagar in Alwal.
