Hyderabad: Two minor girls — eight-year-old Ashwika and three-year-old Awishka — were allegedly killed by their mother in Hyderabad on Wednesday evening after she suspected that her husband was sexually harassing her elder daughter. The mother has been taken into custody, said the police.
The father Vinay Chukte got to know of the horrific incident when he returned home from work from Begumpet. The bodies of the girls were found under the bed and in the bathroom. The mother was nowhere to be seen.
Chukte immediately called the police. The police went on a hunt and found the woman near the Hussainsagar Lake. Suicide could have been on her mind, cops said.
The woman was taken into custody and when asked what spurred her to kill her own daughters, she said they were being abused by the father.
"The woman became suspicious after seeing that her elder daughter used to get scared on seeing her father. She had a feeling that her husband sexually harassed their elder daughter. She has confessed to killing the two children," the police said.
The police are probing the matter. They are yet to find evidence that proves the mother’s claims.
