Techie, Kin Deaths: Cctv Off, Cell Reset | Hyderabad News
The victims, T Srikanth Goud, 42, a software employee with TCS, his wife Anamika, 38, a private school teacher, and their seven-year-old daughter, were found dead on the first floor of their G+1 house at Vandanapuri Colony in Ameenpur on Thursday.
Srikanth was found hanging from the ceiling fan in one bedroom, while Anamika and their daughter were found lying dead in the second room due to consumption of an unknown poison. “We found remnants of unknown pungent chemical in a glass. The same was sent to lab,” Patancheru deputy superintendent of police (DSP) Bheem Reddy said.
Ameenpur police noticed a CCTV camera in the hall of the victim’s portion and it was turned off around 6pm on January 18 by Srikanth. Around 1pm, the family had lunch together, there were no visible signs of panic or distress shown by the couple, police said.
Investigators spoke to the maid, who said that her employers told her that they were going out and asked her not to come for work for two days on January 16. She also told police that she never saw the couple arguing. Police also found out that Srikanth had also stopped daily milk purchase through an app he used and also deactivated his social media accounts. A tenant, who lives in the ground floor of the house, told police that Srikanth did not never pressurise him even if the payment of rent gets slightly delayed. Both the families also told police that the couple did not mention about facing any personal or financial problems.
Cops are also trying to figure out why the victims had vermilion teekas on their foreheads and why the photos of gods were removed from the puja room and turned towards the floor in the adjacent space. “So far, no suicide note was found. We have seized two phones from the house. One phone was formatted. Other phone has a lock. We sent both the phones to lab. We are analysing the call details of both the phones and waiting for post-mortem report,” police said.
