Banswada (Telangana): A woman allegedly killed her two children by throwing them off into a violent stream in the suburbs of Banswada on Monday evening. Both children -- a 6-months-old infant girl and a 4-year-old boy -- were rescued by locals who saw the woman throwing them off. They were immediately rushed to a hospital but were declared dead on arrival. The local police took cognizance of the matter and launched an investigation, while the woman has denied claims of killing her children.
DSP Jagannath Reddy and CI Mahender Reddy, who are probing the matter, said that the woman has accused an auto driver of throwing her children off and fleeing the spot thereafter. However, the CCTV footage of the crime site did not show any other man/person near the stream wherein the children were thrown. The police have not yet been able to ascertain the motive of the crime.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the woman, identified as Aruna from Chakranagar Thanda in Nizamabad district, was in rough waters with her husband who lives in Maharashtra's Udgir in Latur district. Because of a recent quarrel with him, Aruna had shifted to her parents' home in Nizamabad along with her two children. In an attempt to resolve the quarrel, Aruna's husband had called her back to Udgir a few days back.
