Hyderabad: A nurse was arrested for killing her parents by administering a high dose of anesthetic after they rejected her marriage proposal to her boyfriend.
The victims, Dasarath and Lakshmi, lived in Yacharam village, Bantwaram mandal of Rangareddy district, and had one son and three daughters.
Their youngest daughter, Surekha, worked as a nurse at a private hospital in Sangareddy. She fell in love with a man she befriended on Instagram and urged her parents to approve their marriage proposal. They rejected it due to caste differences and arranged her engagement to another man, Vikarabad DSP Srinivas Reddy said.
Under the pretense of relieving their knee pain, she gave them a fatal anesthetic overdose and staged their bodies to mimic natural deaths.
She then called her brother Ashok, claiming their parents had collapsed and fallen unconscious. After a police complaint was filed and an investigation launched, officers discovered the injections. During interrogation, Surekha confessed to the crime. She was arrested and was produced before the magistrate.
