Man poisons twin daughters, commits suicide after wife abandons him

A heartbreaking incident unfolded in Bhadohi district, Uttar Pradesh, where a distressed man, Omprakash Yadav (27), allegedly took the lives of his 14-month-old twin daughters before ending his own life.

The tragic event occurred on Monday, November 25, 2024, in the Ugapur area.

According to Station House Officer (SHO) Ajit Kumar Srivastava, Yadav is said to have mixed poison in milk and fed it to his daughters, Aashi and Priyashi. After their deaths, he reportedly took his own life, leaving behind a scene of unimaginable grief.

“Yadav had filed a missing person’s report for his wife, Sangam Yadav, on November 21. She had left their home, leaving him alone to care for their daughters. This appears to have caused him severe mental distress,” Srivastava said.

According to the SHO, Yadav first attempted to hang himself at home but later left the house around 7 am.

He was spotted 500 meters away near the Ganesh Chandra Laudar Inter College but no one suspected anything, Srivastava added

People who entered the college premises later discovered his body hanging from a tree and informed his family, he said.

Upon visiting his home, they found the bodies of the twins, prompting them to alert the police.

“Three bodies have been sent for postmortem and a forensic team has collected a sample of the milk for analysis. Further investigation is underway,” Srivastava added.
