Man kills two daughters before committing suicide in Jagtial
Relatives , who found Jalapathi Reddy’s body in the field in the morning, alerted the police, who then searched for the girls and found their bodies in the well.
Jagtial: A farmer allegedly killed two of his daughters before consuming pesticide to take his own life in Narsingapur of Jagtial rural mandal.
According to the police, Gaddam Jalapathi Reddy (40) along with his two daughters Pranitha (11) and Madhumitha (9) went to Jagtial to attend a marriage on Friday evening but did not return home. Kavitha, Jalapathi Reddy’s wife then tried to contact them over phone but they did not answer her calls even at 5 am.
Local toddy tappers, who found Jalapathi Reddy’s body near an agricultural well on the outskirts of the village on Saturday, informed his relatives. The bodies of the two girls were found a little later in another agricultural well. The police then reached the spot and retrieved the bodies.
Police said Jalapathi Reddy could have died by suicide by consuming pesticides after pushing his daughters into the well. A suicide note was also recovered from the spot. In the note, he said he had decided to end his life as an advocate was creating hurdles for him to get compensation for the three guntas of land he gave to the government a few years ago.
He had filed a case in the High Court, and though the government had paid the amount, the advocate was creating hurdles for him to withdraw the money.
Jagtial Rural CI Krishna Kumar and SI Anil are investigating the case.
