Udhagamandalam, Tamil Nadu: To vent his anger against his wife, a man today allegedly strangled his two daughters, aged five and two, and dumped the bodies in a coffee estate after wrapping them in a bag at Allurvayal, about 60 km from Udhagamandalam in Tamil Nadu, police said.
The wife had left for her mother's house with the two daughters after a quarrel over the drinking habit of her husband, 35-year-old Rajan, police said.
Irked over this, Rajan went to his mother-in-law's house and strangulated his daughters, leading to bleeding injuries and death, police said.
He packed the bodies in a bag and wanted to dump it in the forest, they said.
