Overview
- Karimnagar police arrested the father, his parents and his brother on Sunday, two days after his four‑year‑old twins were drowned in a farm well on Friday in Jubilee Nagar, Telangana.
- Investigators say the father pushed one girl into the well and then jumped in to hold the second under water, acting on a belief that daughters were a burden and after earlier pressuring his wife to abort twin girls.
- Police state the family plotted the murders in advance and the father tried to pass the deaths off as an accident by shouting for help and pretending to rescue the children.
- Officers cite the post‑mortem report, alleged confessions and seized items, including the motorcycle used and a mobile phone with planning messages, and say all four accused have been remanded to judicial custody.
- Villagers grew suspicious of the father's shifting story, confronted him and alerted police, in a case authorities say reflects entrenched son preference and fears over spending family property on daughters' marriages.
