The prosecution case was that Rajan, aged 35, a habitual drunkard, used to pick up quarrel with his wife under the influence of liquor.
On February 23, 2014, Rajan, after quarrelling with his wife, strangulated his two daughters--aged five and two--to death and took away the bodies in a bag to bury it.
Rajan managed to escape, leaving the bag there, when the public questioned about it. He was arrested four days later.
