Barwani, November 23: In a disturbing incident in Barwani district, a man allegedly killed his two young children with an axe following a marital dispute. The incident occurred after his wife refused to return to their home in Gauri Padawa, Maharashtra, due to ongoing issues between the couple. Enraged by this, the man attacked their five-year-old son and three-year-old daughter, fatally injuring them before turning the axe on his wife and himself. The police have launched an investigation into the case, with both Sanju and Bharti currently in critical condition.

The couple, married for seven years, had been experiencing marital problems, and Bharti’s refusal to return to Maharashtra sparked Sanju’s violent outburst. Madhya Pradesh Shocker: Married Woman Allegedly Elopes With Brother-in-Law in Chhatarpur, Tells Husband ‘Dewar’ Is More Handsome Than Him; Later Sends Threats to Spouse.
