Hyderabad: In a shocking incident, a man in Telangana's Mahabubnagar district on Tuesday killed his newly-wed daughter and wife. The man was angry after his daughter refused to go to her in-laws and his wife also supported her. After killing them, the man consumed poison and he has been battling for life in a hospital, police said.

Saraswati, 22, a resident of Jainallipur village, was married on May 8 to a man from Mahabubnagar town. After 10 days, she came to her parents. She refused to return to her in-laws, claiming she was married to the man against her wish.

Her father Krishnaiah has been insisting that she should go back to the house of in-laws. There was a fight between them over the issue again on Tuesday. Saraswati's mother Kalamma, 43, came out in her support. During the heated argument, Krishnaiah attacked her daughter and wife with a stick and then consumed some poisonous substance. He also informed his son over the phone.

The son, who rushed to the house from the agriculture field, shifted all three to a local hospital. As the condition of Saraswati and her mother turned critical, they were being shifted to Hyderabad. However, the mother-daughter duo succumbed on the way.

Krishnaiah was undergoing treatment at Mahabubnagar district hospital and his condition was stated to be critical.
