In a chilling case that has shaken the rural community of Tirupattur, a 26-year-old woman and her lover have been arrested for the alleged murder of her two young children. Police say S. Sivagami deliberately pushed her sons into a farm well, fearing they would become obstacles to her relationship with cab driver S. Raja.
Key facts
- Victims: S. Prem Kumar (5) and S. Pratap (2)
- Arrested: S. Sivagami (26) and S. Raja (34)
- Location: Velichanur village, Jawadhu Hills
- Date of incident: August 27, 2026
A Mother's Unthinkable Act
According to investigators, Sivagami took her children by bus to Alangayam town on August 27. She then walked them to a remote farm well, where the boys reportedly watched the water with childhood curiosity. In a moment that defies comprehension, police allege she pushed both children into the well and walked away.
Discovery and Investigation
The tragedy unfolded when landowner G. Prakasam arrived at the well and discovered the horrific scene. By then, it was too late—both boys had drowned. Alangayam police retrieved the small bodies and immediately launched an investigation that would lead them to the children's own mother.
During questioning, Sivagami confessed to the crime, revealing that she saw her sons as potential obstacles to her relationship with Raja. Her husband, B. Sait, is currently serving time in an Andhra Pradesh prison for red sanders smuggling, leaving her alone with the children she would ultimately betray.
Community in Shock
The arrest has sent waves of disbelief through the tight-knit community of Velichanur village. How could a mother—someone meant to protect and nurture—become the source of such unimaginable harm? The question hangs heavy in the Jawadhu Hills air as police continue their investigation.
Sivagami now sits in a Tirupattur sub-jail, her children gone, her life irrevocably changed by choices that defy understanding. The case continues to develop as authorities piece together the full timeline of this family tragedy.
