23-yr-old Telangana man arrested for raping, slitting girlfriend's throat at resort

Hyderabad: A 23-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly killing his girlfriend after raping her at a resort near Hyderabad on Thursday.

According to Hindustan Times report, the incident came to light around 11 pm on Thursday, after which a complaint was filed with the Ranga Reddy police.

The accused has been identified as Sai Prasad, a resident of Timmapur village.

The victim, an undergraduate student from Kummariguda village, was found with her throat slit.

After post-mortem examination, police handed the body to the girl’s father who is the driver of a judge at the Hyderabad high court.

Police said the victim, who was preparing for several competitive examinations while pursuing a degree course in Hyderabad, had been in a relationship with Sai Prasad for a while now. However, the accused had lately become suspicious that his girlfriend was getting close to another man from the same village.

Sai Prasad reportedly took the girl to the resort in Proddatur village on Thursday and after they both entered into the room, he allegedly raped her before slitting her throat with his knife.

Resort officials alerted the police after they found out the victim’s body later at night. “We are investigating the matter,” said Shankarpally inspector K Shashank Reddy, adding that the accused was being questioned.
