The District Collector was issued instructions to make arrangements for the care of the children.

They have two daughters aged three and two years. Durga Prasad is a Zomato delivery boy and his wife Ramyalakshmi makes a living by sewing the mission.

A few days ago, he borrowed some money from the loan app through his cell phone for household needs. However, due to non-payment on time and increased interest, the telecallers of the loan app often called and harassed. They threatened to release the nude pictures if the victim don't pay the debt owed. Moreover, they called Durga Prasad relatives and friends and told them about the loan.
