A shocking incident in Haryana’s Fatehabad district has come to light after an Anganwadi worker and her two children were found dead at their home. Police suspect the woman, identified as 31-year-old Sudesh, allegedly gave poison-laced milk to her two children before drowning them in a water tank and later taking her own life.
