Six Dead in Telangana: Police Probe Revenge Motive Linked to POCSO Case
11 Jul
Summary
- Accused allegedly murdered wife, two children, and a POCSO case victim.
- Revenge linked to a prior POCSO case is the suspected motive.
- Police are investigating the sequence of events and gathering evidence.
Six individuals were tragically killed in the Ranga Reddy district of Telangana during the early hours of Saturday. Police have identified 28-year-old Raj Kumar as the primary suspect in the case. Preliminary investigations suggest the motive for these gruesome murders stems from revenge, specifically linked to an earlier Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) case filed against him.
The victims reportedly include the accused's wife and their two children, along with a minor girl who had filed the POCSO complaint. Also among the deceased are the minor girl's mother and her grandmother. Raj Kumar had previously been arrested in connection with the POCSO complaint but was later released on bail.
Investigators are examining CCTV footage that appears to show the minor girl being forcibly taken by the accused. Senior police officials and forensic experts have visited the crime scene to collect evidence and are working to reconstruct the precise sequence of events. The bodies have been sent for post-mortem examinations.
The community remains on edge following this devastating incident. Authorities have appealed for calm and assured the public that a thorough investigation is underway. Local residents are being questioned as part of the ongoing evidence-gathering process.
