Telangama Couple leaves two daughters at police station amid dispute

In a separate incident from Karimnagar district of Telangana, a couple walked away from their two young daughters during a counselling session at a police station, leaving officials stunned.

Police said the couple, who had a love marriage about 10 years ago, have two daughters aged seven and five. They had approached the LMD Colony police station two weeks ago over marital differences.

The woman had alleged that her husband had manhandled her in recent times. On Tuesday, she came to the police station with both children.

During counselling, she removed her mangala sutram and toe rings and placed them on the Inspector’s table before walking out. The husband also left shortly after, without taking the children along, police said.

"We tried to reach them on their mobile phones, but of no use," a police official said.

With both parents unreachable, police later handed over the children to their grandparents.
