Hyderabad: A 40-year-old auto driver, Kishan Naik, was allegedly killed by his second wife Sirisha at their rented accommodation in Vanasthalipuram in the early hours of Tuesday.
For Sirisha too, it was the second marriage. The two were in love, had an intercaste marriage around a decade ago, and have two children, police said.
Kishan's first wife died, leaving him with three children, while Sirisha's first husband divorced her. She met Kishan while travelling in his auto rickshaw, got acquainted with him, and later got married. As Naik belongs to the ST community, a case under sections related to murder and provisions under the SC & ST (Prevention of atrocities) Act were also slapped against Sirisha, assistant commissioner of police (ACP), Vanasthalipuram, Kasi Reddy said.
Police were also probing the role of Sirisha's parents, who stay nearby, and also her alleged partner in Kishan's murder.
According to police, the couple have been staying separately for a year. Recently, after a compromise, they moved to a rented home at Vanasthalipuram. While Kishan visited her once a week from his native place in Yadadri Bhongir district, she stayed with their two children and was working as a security guard at a jewellery store.
On Monday evening, Kishan went to her workplace and picked up a quarrel. Later at night also, he quarrelled with her and even assaulted her. In retaliation, she also hit him and pushed him to the wall. As he collapsed, she shifted him to hospital with her parents' help where he was declared dead, a police officer said.
