Rajitha, a 30-year-old teacher has killed three children.

The lady from Ameenpur Mandal in Sangareddy district, India, killed the children—12-year-old Sai Krishna, 10-year-old Madhu Priya, and 8-year-old Gautam—to start a new life with her former classmate, Sooru Shiva Kumar.

She initially claimed that they had fallen ill after eating curd rice on March 27, but investigations later revealed that she had suffocated them one by one to clear the way for her to marry Shiva.

She staged their deaths as food poisoning to cover up the crime.

Rajitha’s unhappiness in her marriage to A. Chennaiah, a 50-year-old water tanker driver 20 years older than her, had been growing for some time.

Chennaiah’s first wife had passed away during childbirth, and in 2013, he married Rajitha, with whom he had three children.

However, reports indicated that Rajitha resented her life with Chennaiah and longed for an escape.

Her affair with her former classmate, Shiva Kumar, who she hoped to marry, became the driving force behind her tragic actions.

Driven by a desire to build a new life with him, Rajitha decided to eliminate any obstacles standing in her way. She killed her children and pretended they had died from food poisoning, hoping to deceive everyone around her.

The police investigation, led by Sangareddy DSP Paritosh Pankaj, soon uncovered the truth.

When her motive became clear, the case sent ripples through social media, and concerned individuals flooded the comments section, expressing disbelief over the horrific crime.
