    What's the story

    A 40-year-old man allegedly killed his two daughters by mowing them under the wheels of his truck and later killed himself by jumping before the same vehicle at a village in Maharashtra's Pune district early on Sunday, police said.

    "The deceased, Bharate Barate, was angry over his 18-year-old daughter chatting with a boy on the phone and her younger sister supporting her," they said.

    Suicide note

    Barate had also written a suicide pact note

    "The deceased girls were identified as Nandini Barate (18) and Vaishnavi (14)," police said, adding that Barate had even written a suicide pact note that he along with his wife and two daughters are ending their lives.

    The incident took place around 1:30 am on Sunday in Induri village of Maval tehsil in the district.

    Quote

    Barate was upset over his elder daughter's behavior

    "Barate was a driver and owned a truck. On Saturday, he caught his elder daughter chatting with some boy over the phone. Barate lost his temper and beat her up," senior police inspector Pradip Londhe of Talegaon MIDC Police Station said.

    Details

    Barate's wife unknowingly signed the note

    As per his wife's statement, after beating the daughter, he was also seen writing on a piece of paper on which he also took a signature of his wife, which she did without reading its contents.

    "At 1 am on Sunday, Barate got up and went outside. After some time, he came back and took the girls out of the house," the officer said.

    Incident

    Barate made his daughters lie on road and mowed them

    "After hearing the truck's sound, his wife woke up and came out. He made his two daughters lie on the road and was driving the truck toward them. According to the woman, Barate even signaled her to join them," Londhe added.

    "By the time she ran to seek help from her relatives who live nearby, Barate had mowed them under the truck," he said.

    Investigation

    Police trying to find out why the girls didn't escape

    "Later, he also jumped before that moving vehicle and died," the officer added.

    "They found both the girls and Barate dead on the road," he said.

    Police said they are trying to find out why the girls did not try to run away from the spot after seeing the truck approaching as they were not tied.

    Death

    Barate and Vaishnavi died on spot; Nandini died in hospital

    "While Barate and his younger daughter Vaishnavi died on the spot, Nandini died in a hospital," the officer said.

    Londhe said that in the suicide note, he had written that his daughter's behavior was inappropriate and no one should be held responsible for the deaths.

    "We have registered a case against Barate under Section 302 (murder) of IPC and investigation is on," he said.
