Nagarkurnool: Inability of a watcher at Peddavagu base camp to buy new clothes for his wife and children led to a major tragedy after his wife killed two children before ending her life on Thursday night, police said.
Chinna Bayanna, who works as a watcher at the Peddavagu base camp told his wife Nagamma that he was unable to buy clothes for her and children as he was not getting his salary for the last four months.
