Telangana: Man arrested for drowning three minor daughters in lake
Hyderabad (PTI): An auto driver in the Kamareddy district of Telangana was arrested for allegedly killing his three minor daughters by drowning them in a lake, police said on Sunday.
The auto driver and his wife had approached the police with a complaint on March 6 that their three daughters (aged 8, 6 and 5) were missing, they added.
Police, who took up the investigation after registering a case, searched for the girls by making enquiries with residents and circulating the girls' photos on a messaging app.
When asked where he had last seen the girls, the man gave inconsistent answers and tried to mislead the investigation. During interrogation and after tracking his movements, it was found that he took the girls to a lake in the town and threw them into it, police said.
The man, who is addicted to vices, was facing financial problems. He decided to eliminate the girls as he felt that raising the three daughters was turning out to be difficult, they said.
As per his plan, he took the three girls to the lake on the morning of March 6 on some pretext and threw them into the lake one after another, they added.
He was arrested on charges of murder and remanded to jail, police said.

KKR defeat LSG via Super Over
Lucknow (PTI): Kolkata Knight Riders edged Lucknow Super Giants via Super Overs in a battle between two bottom-placed teams in the IPL, here on Sunday.
Chasing a modest 156, LSG suffered a batting collapse and managed to tie the contest and take it to Super Over with No. 9 Mohammed Shami striking a last-ball six against a wayward Kartik Tyagi, who leaked 16 runs in the final over.
But Sunil Narine bowled a stunning Super Over conceding just one run and taking two wickets to give KKR an easy target.
Rinku Singh then finished the chase with a boundary off first ball from Prince Yadav.
Earlier the KKR were in deep trouble with 93/7 in 15 overs but Rinku smashed a sensational 83 not out from 51 balls including four sixes in a row in the final over to lift them to 155/7.
Cameron Green (34) was the only other batter to reach double-digit scores as KKR suffered a familiar batting meltdown with Mohsin taking his maiden fifer.
In reply, LSG continued their dismal show with the bat to succumb to their fifth loss in a row.
Brief Scores:
Kolkata Knight Riders 155/7; 20 overs (Rinku Singh 83 not out, Cameron Green 34; Mohsin Khan 5/23). Lucknow Super Giants 155/8; 20 overs (Rishabh Pant 42). KKR won via Super Over.
