Chhattisgarh shocker: Newly-wed couple burns nephew, niece alive for disturbing their privacy

Raipur, May 14: In a shocking incident, a newly married couple in Chhattisgarh's Durg district allegedly burnt their niece and nephew alive, just because they were disturbing their privacy.

Police have reportedly arrested the couple, who now face murder charges.

As per an NDTV report, the kids were burnt to death allegedly by their uncle Domain and aunt Malti, who tied the knot in February this year.

"I disliked the children from the beginning, they made me miserable. Me and my husband had no privacy because of them, so I burnt them alive," Malti was quoted by NDTV as saying.

Renuka, the mother of the kids had gone to work at a stone quarry on Monday morning. When she returned home in the afternoon she found her children, 6-year-old daughter Bhuvaneshwari and 3-year-old son Mohan, charred to death.

The family is in a state of shock. The family is blaming the younger daughter-in-law for the ghastly crime.

"I along with my elder daughter-in-law left for work in the morning. In the afternoon we saw the dead bodies of the children. My son is innocent but my younger daughter-in-law I suspect may be behind it," the grandmother Gangotri Ojha was quoted by NDTV as saying.
