Recalling the details, a Sanathnagar police official said they had received information from constable Kappari Ramu that a woman had been murdered near the ACC godown area beside the Bharatnagar flyover.

Srinivas Rao filed a comprehensive chargesheet before the court based on technical, circumstantial, and witness evidence.
During the trial, the Sanathnagar police, along with additional public prosecutor G.V. Ramakrishna Rao, produced witnesses and material evidence, which ensured a strong prosecution case. After examining the evidence and testimonies, the court convicted Karan Singh and awarded capital punishment.
Cyberabad police said the conviction reflected the determination of the investigation team and the prosecution in securing justice for the victim and her family after a prolonged legal battle. Cyberabad commissioner Avinash Mohanty congratulated the investigation and prosecution teams.
