In a horrible incident in Andhra Pradesh, a couple brutally killed their two young daughters to death using a weapon which is suspected to be a dumbbell, at their house in Shiva Nagar near Madanapalle yesterday.

The couple Padmaja and Purushottam Naidu worked as a correspondent of a private school and principal of women’s college and their elder daughter Alekhya (27) completed her Master’s and the younger daughter Sai Divya (22) completed BBA and was a student of AR Rahman Music School in Mumbai.

Both the daughters had returned home after the lockdown. As said by Madanapalle DSP Ravi Manohara Chari the family members behaved strangely since pandemic, and yesterday when neighbours heard loud noises from the house, they alerted the police. When the police entered, they saw a girl lying dead in puja room, and another girl covered with a red colour cloth. It was found in the investigation that the couple was superstitious and told the cops to keep the bodies in the house for a day saying that their daughters will come alive next day. It has been said by the policy that the couple told them about receiving a divine message to sacrifice their daughters as the Kali Yuga was ending and that their daughters will be reborn in Satya Yuga.
