A man has been arrested for the alleged murder of his 11-year-old twin daughters in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India. The killings, which occurred at the family's residence, were discovered during the early hours of Sunday after the suspect reportedly called police himself. According to Reshma Chhetri, the girls' mother, her husband had a history of violence, alcohol abuse, and controlling behaviour, including installing CCTV cameras throughout the house. She said she was forced to leave the twins behind when she moved to her parents' home with their son, as her husband refused to let her take all three children. Reshma claimed she returned after nine months, unable to stay apart from her daughters. She recalled that the night before the murders, the family had dinner together and appeared normal. From the CCTV feed, she saw her husband take one daughter to the bathroom around 2.30 am, return, then turn off the lights. There was no sound afterward. The bodies of the girls were found with deep neck wounds. The suspect was arrested at the scene. Forensic teams collected evidence, and the bodies were sent for postmortem. Police said legal proceedings are underway and prosecution will follow.
