Tiwari had been maintaining that a gang of masked persons kidnapped his daughters from his house in Pipaltari VDC-9 of the district after he failed to provide them the money they asked for.
Namuna was a class two student and Nabina, a first grader, at Kusma-based Rastriya Bal Shiksha school.
Police also said Tiwari had attempted to kills himself after murdering his two daughters. However after failing in his suicide bid, he fabricated the story, police added.
The slain children’s mother is currently working in Israel. Tiwari had recently returned from Iraq.
A special police team led by DSP Sher Bahadur Basnet, after arriving from Kathmandu, is investigating the case. Tiwari had been taken into police custody four days ago.
