ONGC employee kills his two minor sons, later dies by suicide

An ONGC employee aged 37 years allegedly killed his two minor sons for "poor academic performance" and later died by suicide in Andhra Pradesh's Kakinada, a police official told PTI on Saturday.

The two boys were allegedly drowned by their father V Chandra Kishore in a bucket of water at around 10 am on Friday. He was disappointed with his sons' academic performance, the police said.

"Kishore killed his sons due to their poor academic performance, fearing they would struggle and suffer in a competitive world if they did not excel in their studies. Unable to bear this thought, he took the extreme step," the official told PTI.


The police recovered a suicide note and forensic teams have been setup, while an investigation has begun to find the exact reasons that have led to the incident.

Kishore's wife has filed a complaint and stated that her husband was found hanging in the bedroom while their children were lifeless in a bucket. Police registered a case.
