CA Arrested in Wife and Son's Death Case
A man named Yeshwanth Reddy, who is a chartered accountant, was arrested by the police.
This happened because his wife, Sushmita, and their 11-month-old son died in their home.
The police think that Yeshwanth might have made Sushmita so unhappy that she decided to take her own life and her son's life.
Sushmita's mother, Lakshmi, told the police that Yeshwanth was not nice to her daughter.
Lakshmi herself tried to take her own life but was saved and taken to the hospital.
The police arrested Yeshwanth and he will stay in jail until the court says otherwise.
