Hyderabad: Feeling that her husband had become an obstacle for her extramarital affair, a 24-year-old woman along with her paramour killed her husband at Karmanghat and dumped his body in a lake at Choutuppal. The police arrested Jyothi, her paramour and three others in the case.
A video in which one of the suspects, Naresh, narrates his role in the murder and the call data analysis of Jyothi’s paramour, Karthik, helped the police solve the murder mystery, which was earlier registered as a suspicious death case at the Choutuppal police station.
Last Sunday, the body of an unidentified man was found near NH 65 at Ankireddygudem village. Based on a contact number, the police identified him as Kammari Nagaraju, 35, a carpenter from Karmanghat.
After Nagaraju’s brother expressed suspicion on Jyothi, the police started the inquiry and the CDR analysis revealed that Jyothi had called Karthik many times.
Mr E. Ramachandra Reddy, DCP Bhongir Yadari, said that Karthik and Jyothi were in relation before she got married to Nagaraju in 2012.
Two months ago, she got Karthik’s contact number and their relation began again. However, they felt Nagaraju was an obstacle for their illicit relationship and hatched a plan to kill him.
On Sunday, Jyothi laced milk with sleeping pills and made Nagaraju drink it.
After he fell asleep, she called Karthik, who along with his friends, Bismilla Khan, 19, Nadiyal Gourav, 24 and Sirrappa Naresh, 23, came to her house in a car.
They smothered Nagaraju with a pillow and killed him. Later, they dumped his body near the highway.
