Rajasthan mother arrested for twin sons’ murder, lover, son also held
The Story in Brief
Police in Deeg, Rajasthan, arrested a woman on Wednesday, 21 October 2026, for the murder of her 13-year-old twin sons, whose bodies were found in a field on Dussehra morning. Times of India reports that the mother, Preeti, conspired with her paramour and her 16-year-old elder son to kill the boys because they opposed the relationship. The other three outlets state the mother was arrested after her lover refused to accept children from her first marriage and declined to marry her.
Investigators seized a sharp-edged weapon, clothing and other evidence, while a dog squad and forensic team examined the scene. Police are questioning the paramour and the elder son, but Times of India says all three are already in custody. The motive remains under probe, with post-mortem reports awaited and an FIR being registered based on the family’s complaint.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The coverage differs sharply on who carried out the killings. Times of India reports that the mother’s paramour and her 16-year-old son slit the twins’ throats on her orders, naming the victims as Vinay and Vishnu. The other three outlets say the mother acted alone or with an accomplice still being probed. Kalinga TV alone adds the disputed motive that her fiancé refused to marry her because he would not accept the children. The uniform point across sources is that the mother was arrested within hours, the weapon was seized, and forensic tests are pending. The most concrete open item is whether the paramour or elder son face charges: Deeg police are interrogating them but have not filed supplementary charges as of Wednesday.
