After a heated argument with his wife, a 38-year-old man allegedly killed his two children by throwing them in a well at a village in Ahmednagar.


The police stated that the incident took place at Alsunde village in Karjat around 4.30 pm on Sunday.


"The accused Gokul Kshirsagar had an argument with his wife, following which he left home with his eight-year-old daughter Rutuja and four-year-old son Vedant," the police official said.
