The incident took place in Buldhana district's Ancharwadi when Chavan murdered his daughters by slitting their throats after taking them to a forested and secluded area.

After the incident, Chavan went straight to the Washim police station and admitted to killing the children. Right after his confession, police officers hurried to the scene and found the children's bodies. The police noticed that the bodies were partly burnt, which made them think Chavan might have tried to hide evidence by setting them on fire after the murders.

But the police officials have not confirmed whether Chavan tried to burn the bodies of his daughters. The post-mortem is awaited to determine the cause of death and whether the girls were set on fire after being killed by their father.
