In a bizarre incident, a man allegedly pushed his 3 children into an open well at Ravichedu, Talakondapally mandal in Mahabubnagar district.
According to inspector Manohar, Yadaiah (32) was blessed with 3 children, Maheswari (9), Ganesh (7) and Deepthi (4) by his wife Anjamma (27), and was a resident of Ravichedu.
1 month ago, Yadaiah had an argument with his wife, after which she had left him and gone to her parents' residence in Keshampet, taking the children along.
A fortnight ago, Yadaiah brought his children home, hoping that the separation from the children might make her relent and she might come back to her marital home.
Anjamma however did not relent even after a fortnight, and on Thursday evening, Yadaiah decided to drop the children back at his parents-in-law's residence.
On the way, he pushed the 3 children into an open well to punish his wife.
Police shifted the victims to a hospital for autopsy.
A case has been registered under Section 302 IPC against Yadaiah, and further investigations are on.
