Educated Couple Killed Daughters!

Madanapalle police on Tuesday arrested the superstitious parents who had killed their own daughters on Sunday in Andhra Pradesh Chittoor district. The police have filed a murder case against both parents.

"We have filed a case under Section 302 of IPC and arrested both the parents Purushottam Naidu and Padmaja. They will be produced before the court today," Ravimanohar Achari, Deputy Superintendent of Police told to media yesterday.

N Purushottam Naidu was a Vice Principal of the government women's degree college at Madanapalle and his wife Padmaja was the principal correspondent of a private educational institute. Both persons had allegedly killed their two daughters in what police said appeared to be a case linked to superstition.

Of the two daughters, Alekhya, 27, who was pursuing her postgraduation in Bhopal, and her sister Sai Divya, 22, pursuing a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) and learning music, hailed from Madanapalle area of the Chittoor district.

Giving further details, the DSP said Purushottam and Padmaja were extremely superstitious and appeared to have practiced some occult rituals and also seemed to have psychological issues.

"On Sunday night, both the parents stabbed their younger daughter Sai Divya with a trident, after performing rituals in the house. Later they kept a copper vessel in the mouth of elder daughter Alekhya and hit her with a dumbbell that claimed her life," the DSP said.

Purushottam had called up one of his colleagues and told him about what happened after which the police were informed.
