The woman, in the first attempt, succeeded in killing her husband within a month after their marriage: Police
Hyderabad: Taking a cue from the sensational Meghalaya honeymoon murder, 22-year-old Aishwarya allegedly plotted to kill her husband Tejeswar in a similar manner if her initial attempt failed. Her plan included tracking his movements with a GPS device fixed to his bike and luring him to a tourist spot, according to Gadwal police.
Aishwarya succeeded in her first attempt. She allegedly killed Tejeswar on June 17, within a month of their marriage, with the help of her paramour Tirumala Rao, an employee of a non-banking financial company (NBFC) in Kurnool district. Aishwarya also hails from Kurnool.
Police sources said Aishwarya began plotting Tejeswar’s murder from the day after their engagement. She maintained constant contact with Rao, making regular video calls and discussing various ways to eliminate her husband. The couple even considered a plan modelled after the Meghalaya case—killing Tejeswar at a tourist location. As a backup, they devised a staged dacoity.
According to police, Aishwarya asked Rao to arrange for his associates to attack the couple while they were travelling by bike. The plan involved snatching her gold ornaments, killing Tejeswar and fleeing. Aishwarya would then raise an alarm, claiming that dacoits had murdered her husband. She is currently in police custody.
Police further revealed that Aishwarya continued making over 20 video calls to Rao even after her wedding on May 18. Tejeswar, a private land surveyor and resident of Gadwal, was reported missing on June 17 after his brother filed a complaint.
As the police continued their search, they received a tip-off from their Kurnool counterparts about a body found in an agricultural field at Panyam on June 20. Villagers had noticed a foul smell from the bushes and discovered the body, alerting the police. A team from Gadwal identified the body as Tejeswar’s. Investigators said Tejeswar was killed by having his throat slit. Following the autopsy, the body was handed over to the family. A detailed investigation is underway.
