Physiotherapist from Hyderabad kills wife and daughter and stages it as an accident

KHAMMAM: A physiotherapist in Khammam district allegedly killed his wife and two daughters, blaming their deaths in a car accident. These cold-blooded killings came to light during an investigation by the Raghunadhapalem police in the district.

Khammam ACP SV Ramanamurthy said that Boda Praveen, a 32-year-old physiotherapist working in Hyderabad, staged a road accident drama between Manchukonda and Harya Tanda in Raghunadhapalem mandal on May 28 when he was travelling from Hyderabad to his native village with his family.

Police rushed to the scene and found Praveen’s wife Boda Kumari and his two daughters Krushika and Kruthika dead in the car, which had crashed into a tree on the side of the road. Praveen had sustained minor injuries.

However, the accident scene raised suspicions among the police and forced them to register a case of suspicious death. During investigation, the police found that Boda Praveen was having an extramarital affair with his colleague at the hospital where he worked in Hyderabad.

His wife Boda Kumari, who came to know about her husband’s affair, confronted him and asked him to end the relationship. Since his wife and children were an obstacle to his illicit relationship, Praveen decided to remove them. On May 17, he went to his native place Bavaji Tanda with his wife and children.

On May 28, after finishing his work in Khammam, Praveen was returning to his village with his family in a car when his wife Kumari complained of health problems. Praveen gave her an injection and promised that it would relieve her problem.

Shortly after the injection was administered, Kumari died. Praveen then strangled his two daughters.

After making sure they were dead, he crashed his car into the tree to make the killings look like accidental deaths. Police arrested Praveen and produced him in court on Sunday.

Accident scene arouses suspicion among police

The police, who rushed to the scene of the accident, became suspicious after finding the accused with minor injuries, while his wife and two daughters lay dead in the car that had crashed into a tree.
