A man threw three of his children into a well in an inebriated condition following a squabble with his wife in Odisha’s Sundargarh district on Saturday evening.
The man identified as Pandu Munda, 21, returned to his village Kulla from nearby Koida market in a heavily drunken state on Saturday. He entered into a quarrel with his wife.
According to Koida police, Munda soon picked up an axe and chased his wife to kill her. She ran away from the spot and hid behind a bush. Munda returned home and found daughter Sina Munda, five, son Raju Munda, two, and six-month-old daughter.
The man took all three children and threw them into an open well used by villagers. Koida police on Sunday retrieved bodies from the well. The man was also arrested from a nearby jungle.
The Madras High Court on Tuesday, June 11, 2024, permitted Anna University to deposit, in three monthly instalments, an amount of ₹73.23 lakh before the Central Government Industrial Tribunal (CGIT) as a condition to hear a statutory appeal preferred by the varsity against the Coimbatore Regional Provident Fund (RPF) Commissioner’s order to pay dues to the tune of ₹2.44 crore to contract employees.
