Hyderabad, February 16: A 27-year-old DCM van driver was bludgeoned to death allegedly by his two sisters following his 'inappropriate' behaviour with them at Meerpet on Monday night.
The victim was identified as P Srinivas of Tirumala Hills at Meerpet. He was the only son of his parents, Arjun and Savitramma. Arjun runs a small dairy farm at his home and lives with his wife, son, and two unmarried daughters, Surekha and Lakshmi.
On Monday night, Srinivas went home drunk and picked up a fight with Arjun for not finding a bride for him. To avoid confrontation, Arjun left Srinivas alone and went to the farm along with the other family members.
Arjun and his wife consumed toddy at the farm. Arjun slept at the farm, while his wife and daughters returned home. After reaching home, Savitramma slept in the verandah while her daughters slept in the hall.
"In the wee hours, Srinivas, who was also sleeping in the hall, tried to force himself on one of his sisters. Immediately, both the sisters woke up and ran out of the house. Later, they picked up a pestle and spade from the verandah and launched an indiscriminate attack on Srinivas. Due to severe head injuries, Srinivas died on the spot," Meerpet inspector T Ravinder told TOI.
The incident came to the notice of police on Tuesday morning and the sisters were arrested on murder charges. They were produced before court and remanded in judicial custody.
In another incident, a 40-year-old woman, who was found critically injured in an open plot at IDA Uppal, succumbed to injuries while undergoing treatment at Gandhi Hospital on Tuesday afternoon.
According to Uppal inspector R Satyanarayana Raju, the victim was clad in red blouse and green sari. "The victim was hit on the head with a blunt object. We suspect that she died due to excessive bleeding," the inspector added. A case was booked under section 302 (Murder ) of theIndian Penal Code (IPC).
