“Raheem saw Neha and Aziz asleep and took his wife to the house of her sister and dropped her. Later he



came back home around midnight and woke up the two children on noticing some liquid from Aziz’s mouth. When they did not wake up he rushed them to a private hospital and later to Osmania General Hospital where doctors pronounced them dead,” said the Station House Officer.
