A man from Maharashtra allegedly murdered his two-year-old twin daughters after an argument with his wife and later surrendered to the police, confessing to the crime.

The accused, identified as Rahul Chavan, a resident of Washim district, was travelling with his wife and daughters on Friday when a heated quarrel broke out between the couple, police said. During the argument, Rahul Chavan’s wife decided to leave for her parents’ home while he continued the journey alone with the children.

In a fit of rage, Rahul Chavan allegedly drove to a forested area near Ancharwadi village in Buldhana district where he slit the throats of the twin girls, police said.

After the gruesome act, Rahul Chavan drove straight to the Washim police station and confessed to killing his daughters. Following his statement, a police team rushed to the site and recovered the children’s bodies.

Preliminary findings suggest the bodies were partially burnt, leading investigators to suspect that Rahul Chavan may have attempted to destroy evidence by setting them on fire after the murders. However, police said the claim is yet to be confirmed pending forensic and post-mortem reports.

Police conducted an on-site inspection, collected forensic samples and began a detailed probe into the sequence of events leading up to the killings, they said.

Authorities said Rahul Chavan has been taken into custody and further investigation is underway.
