Daughters’ murder: Shock at school where mother worked

Madanapalle (Andhra Pradesh), Jan 28 : Students and parents of the school in Andhra Pradesh’s Chittoor district where the mother, who murdered her two daughters along with their father, worked, are in a state of shock, disbelief and fear.
“All the people who heard about this incident are shocked,” a school teacher and colleague of V. Padmaja at the Masterminds IIT Talent School said on Thursday, when asked about the state of students and parents.
Padmaja’s colleagues, however, also praised her and said she is a very good person in normal times.
“Madam is a very good person. She always used to motivate us. Something happened to them… normally they are not that kind of people. Our opinion is that somebody could have done something to them,” said Shoba, a teacher in the school for the past 12 years.
Expressing disbelief over the happenings, her colleagues reiterated about that both Padamaja and her husband, V. Purushotam Naidu, a lecturer at a government women’s college, are good people and they have no clue as to who pushed them to such a state.
“They loved their children so much. When children were at home, madam used to come only once a week and spend most of the time with children,” said another teacher.
