What Led to the Shocking Deaths of a Mother and Her 10-Month-Old Son?
Sushma, who married chartered accountant Yashwant Reddy four years ago, was the mother of a 10-month-old boy, Yashavardhan Reddy. Family members said the couple had been facing marital discord for the past few days.

Around 9.30 pm, Yashwant returned home and found the bedroom locked from the inside. After forcing the door open, he discovered his wife and child lying lifeless and alerted the police.
Shocked by the tragedy, Lalitha allegedly attempted suicide after seeing her daughter and grandson dead. Police reached the spot, registered a case and have begun an investigation.
