Cop Takes Own Life After Shooting Wife and Two Children in Siddipet, Telangana

Hyderabad: In a tragic incident in Telangana's Siddipet district, a 35-year-old security guard employed by Siddipet District Collector Prashant Jeevan Patil shot and killed his 30-year-old wife, Chaitanya, along with their 6-year-old son, Revanth, and 5-year-old daughter, Himashri, before turning the gun on himself.

The incident occurred in Ramunipatta village of Chinnakodur mandal on Friday. The assailant, identified as police constable Akula Naresh, had not reported for duty that day and chose to stay at



home.

Neighbors rushed to the scene upon hearing gunshots, discovering all four individuals dead. Authorities were alerted, and the police have initiated an investigation, registering a case and arranging for autopsies.

While initial reports suggest financial problems may have triggered the incident, the police are probing all angles, including Naresh's alleged involvement in online betting and debts. The family is now grappling with the profound loss of four lives.
