In a tragic incident in Kanpur's Kidwai Nagar area, a 45-year-old medical representative is accused of murdering his 11-year-old twin daughters by slitting their throats. After committing the act, he called the police emergency line at around 4:30 am to report the crime. Upon arrival, officers found the girls' bodies on the bedroom floor, alongside a blood-soaked knife, while the father was sitting nearby. Kanpur's Deputy Commissioner of Police (South), Deependra Nath Chaudhary, stated that no clear motive has emerged, but investigators are considering the father's mental health, particularly following his mother's death a few months prior. The father had shown signs of instability, including expressing a desire to die and taking the twins with him. His wife, who was asleep in another part of the apartment, only learned of the tragedy when police arrived. She described her husband as needing severe punishment for his actions. Forensic officials noted that the crime scene was peculiar, with the bodies found on the floor and the bed clean, suggesting that the father may have smothered the children before using the knife. A large quantity of medicines was recovered from his room, and police are investigating whether he sedated the girls prior to the incident. The twins were students in Class 5 at a nearby school, and their six-year-old brother was with their mother at the time of the killings.
