A Hyderabad physiotherapist, Boda Praveen, allegedly murdered his wife and two daughters on his girlfriend's demand, disguising the act as a car accident.
In a harrowing case from Hyderabad, a physiotherapist, Boda Praveen, has been arrested for the alleged murder of his wife and two young daughters. The shocking incident, which took place on May 28, unfolded under the sinister influence of Praveen's girlfriend, Soni Francis.
According to police reports, Praveen, 32, initially portrayed the deaths of his family as a tragic car accident. However, investigators became suspicious after noticing needle marks on his wife's body, Kumari, 29, and a lack of other injuries on the victims. Praveen reportedly administered a lethal dose of an anesthetic injection to Kumari and then suffocated his daughters, Krishika, 5, and Kritika, 3, inside the family car.
Despite committing the gruesome acts, Praveen managed to evade capture for nearly 48 days, living a seemingly normal life with Soni Francis, a nurse at the same hospital where he worked. During this time, the police conducted a thorough investigation, eventually discovering an empty syringe in the car, which led them to treat the case as a potential homicide.
The breakthrough came with forensic analysis of the syringe, prompting authorities to apprehend Praveen in the Attapur area of Hyderabad. Kondal Rao, the SHO of Raghunathapalem Police Station, noted that Praveen initially believed he was safe due to the case being registered as an accident.
The arrest has sent shockwaves through the community, highlighting the disturbing lengths to which individuals may go under the influence of others. Praveen has been remanded to judicial custody as the investigation continues, raising questions about motives and the underlying dynamics of this tragic family saga.
