“Telangana’s Shocking Incidents: Woman Strangles Son Over Extramarital Affair”

Accident – death – Obituary News : Telangana Witnessed Disturbing Rise in Parental Filicides

Hyderabad, Jan 13, 2024 – Telangana has witnessed a disturbing rise in incidents where parents have turned into killers of their own children. These horrifying acts have shocked and saddened the local communities, leaving them questioning the depths of human depravity.

In recent years, a series of tragic events have unfolded, revealing the dark underbelly of some families. Motives behind these killings range from fear of extramarital affairs being exposed to revenge against spouses. Alcohol abuse has also been a common thread in many of these cases.

One of the most shocking incidents occurred in February 2022 in Buddaram village, Nalgonda district. Paleti Vijaya, a 28-year-old woman, strangled her nine-year-old son, Nagraj, to death. Vijaya’s motive stemmed from her fear that her son would reveal her extramarital relationship with another man to her husband. The child had witnessed his mother in a compromising position with the man, leading to his tragic demise.

In another tragic incident, a woman named Lavanya, addicted to alcohol, killed her six-year-old son by drowning him in a lake in Nizamabad district. Overwhelmed by her responsibilities, Lavanya sought to escape her burdens through this horrific act.

Similarly, in Rangareddy district, Erpula Dhanraj murdered his wife, Kandikanti Lavanya, with an axe and drowned his 40-day-old son, Kriyansh, in a water tank. Their two-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Adya, managed to escape and provided chilling details of the gruesome murders. Lavanya’s family alleged that Dhanraj killed her for dowry, adding another layer of tragedy to this heart-wrenching incident.

The list of these horrifying incidents goes on. They include a young woman strangling her two-year-old son in Rangareddy district, a man setting fire to his 12-year-old son in Hyderabad, a woman hanging her son before taking her own life in Nalgonda district, and a woman killing her son for objecting to her love affair in Mahabubnagar district.

These incidents highlight the urgent need for increased awareness and support for mental health and family counseling services in Telangana. It is crucial to address the underlying issues that lead to such extreme acts of violence within families.

Authorities must also take proactive measures to identify and intervene in cases of domestic violence, substance abuse, and marital discord. By providing early intervention and support, lives can be saved, and families can be protected from these devastating tragedies.

In conclusion, the rise in parental filicides in Telangana is a disturbing trend that calls for immediate action. It is essential to prioritize mental health services, increase awareness, and create a supportive environment for families in crisis. Only through collective efforts can we hope to prevent such gruesome incidents and protect the most vulnerable members of our society – our children..
