In a harrowing incident in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, Shashi Ranjan Mishra, 45, is accused of murdering his twin daughters, aged 11, by slitting their throats after rendering them unconscious with sleeping pills. The tragedy unfolded in their Kidwai Nagar apartment, where Mishra's wife, Reshma, and their six-year-old son were asleep in another room. Reshma discovered the crime when police arrived at their home early in the morning after Mishra himself called the police helpline at 4:30 am to report the incident. According to police reports, Mishra had shown signs of instability following his mother's death a few months prior, leading to depression and erratic behavior. Reshma noted that he had previously expressed suicidal thoughts and had accused her of infidelity, leading to a turbulent relationship. The police are investigating whether Mishra was receiving any psychiatric treatment at the time of the incident. Reshma, originally from Siliguri, West Bengal, has called for her husband to be hanged for his actions.
