Hyderabad, 11 July: A man accused in a POCSO case allegedly killed six people in Daivalaguda village of Shaabad mandal, Rangareddy district after being released on bail.
The accused, Raj Kumar, 28, allegedly murdered the minor victim, her mother, her grandmother, his own wife Sarita, and his two children. Police reached the scene after the accused’s parents called them with information.
According to police, the sequence of events began on May 16, 2026. The minor victim’s mother filed a complaint alleging that Raj Kumar had sexually assaulted her daughter. Police arrested Raj Kumar on May 26 and sent him to judicial remand. He subsequently secured bail and returned to the village. After his release, he allegedly committed the murders in an act of revenge against those who had filed the case against him.
Furthermore, police said Raj Kumar allegedly took the minor victim to an agricultural field, assaulted her, and killed her there. He then allegedly killed the victim’s mother and grandmother at their residence. He also killed his own wife Sarita and their two children. The exact sequence and timing of the murders are part of the ongoing investigation.
POCSO | Raj Kumar Called Parents After Killings Saying He Had Killed Six and Was Dying
After committing the murders, Raj Kumar allegedly called his parents on the phone. He told them he had killed six people and that he was also dying.
His parents immediately informed the police. Officers reached the scene based on this information. Police have registered a case and are conducting a thorough investigation. The accused’s condition at the time of this report was not confirmed in official communications.
Moreover, the case raises serious questions about bail in POCSO matters involving serious sexual offences against minors.
Under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, offences carry stringent penalties. However, bail remains a legal possibility under certain conditions. This incident is likely to draw attention to the safety of complainants and witnesses after the accused is released on bail.
Additionally, the crime took place within the jurisdiction of the Shaabad police station in Rangareddy district. Senior officers have been informed and are supervising the investigation. The bodies have been sent for post-mortem examination. Further details are expected as the investigation progresses and official statements are issued.
