THREE girls under eight have been found dead in a water tank – and cops think their dad may have pushed them to their deaths.

The sisters were just five, seven and eight years old.

Shifaat, Aayat and Maryam went to buy snacks with their dad but never returned.

After several hours of agonising waiting, family members called the cops.

It sparked a desperate search effort in Kamareddy, central India.

Specialist teams looked far and wide for the children with no luck.

Then came the tragic discovery of the sisters lying dead in the water tank.

When the bodies were recovered, the girls’ mum broke down.

Two other boys also disappeared on the same day in the town, and have still not been found.
