Andhra Murder Mystery: An Extra-Marital Affair And A Trap For Loan-Seekers
Hyderabad: Days after a man's body was found in a canal in Andhra Pradesh, the police have found that he was murdered by his wife and her lover, tracing eerie similarities with the honeymoon murder mystery that had bloodied the hills of Meghalaya less than a month ago. Aishwarya, 23, from Kurnool, married Tejeswar, a 26-year-old land surveyor and dancer in Telangana's Gadwal, on May 18, after convincing him that she was in love with him. A month later, the husband went missing. The woman and her mother, Sujatha, were detained by the police after Tejeswar's family alleged Aishwarya's role in the murder. The police have found that within a month of her wedding, Aishwarya had conspired with a married bank manager she had an affair with, to hire three men to eliminate her husband. Her mother, Sujatha, worked at the same Non-Banking Financial Corporation (NBFC). Tirumal Rao, a bank manager in Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh, was later identified as the lover of the woman. He had even paid Rs 2 lakh advance to the three people who had approached him for loans to eliminate Tejeswar, Jogulamba Gadwal district SP T Srinivas Rao told NDTV. Both Andhra and Telangana police worked on the case, he added. The officer said eight suspects, including Aishwarya and Rao, have been arrested. Sujatha, who had preliminary knowledge of the offence, and Rao's father, a retired head constable who tried to protect his son from the police, are among those arrested. Rao had presumed that the victim would be reported missing and his body would never be found, but still had an escape plan ready. He had reportedly taken a Rs 20 lakh loan and booked tickets for himself and Aishwarya to flee to Ladakh. The police said Rao had earlier planned to eliminate his wife, whom he married eight years ago, as the couple did not have any children. He is said to have even had an affair with Aishwarya's mother Sujatha, who worked as a sweeper at his bank. Aishwarya had replaced her mother at the job during her absence, and this is when the two developed a relationship. Her mother had reportedly discouraged this relationship and pressured Aishwarya to marry Tejeswar. But Aishwarya wasn't ready. Her marriage to Tejeswar was fixed for February 13 this year, but she reportedly went incognito and later broke off her wedding. She later convinced Tejeswar that she had gone missing because her mother was unable to pay dowry and insisted that she was ready to marry him. He agreed to marry her against his family's advice over rumours of her affair with Rao. On May 18, they tied the knot. Between February and June, Aishwarya and Rao exchanged 2,000 phone calls, police said, adding that even during her wedding, she was constantly on the phone. Her in-laws chided her for his behaviour, but she argued she was talking to her mother. Tejeswar's family in Gadwal reported him missing on June 18, by when he had already been murdered, said the official, pointing to CCTV footage that showed him getting into a car that went towards Kurnool. "The killers took him in a car on the pretext of surveying a land. He was on the seat beside the driver when they slit his throat and subsequently stabbed him in the stomach," said SP Srinivas. They showed the body to Rao over the phone and then threw it in the canal. "The plan was to bury him in the layout of a land they had gone to survey in Kurnool, but noticing some people there, they dumped it in a canal. But there wasn't enough water in it. We used cell phone signals to track Tejeswar's location. By the time we found the body, it was putrefied. A tattoo on his arm saying "amma" in Telugu helped us identify the body," said the SP. After Tejeswar went missing, his family suspected Aishwarya and Rao were behind his disappearance. At that time, Aishwarya was still living with her in-laws. "Aishwarya continued to stay in her in-laws' house for four days after Rao informed her that her husband had been killed. The plan was for her to return home to Kurnool and for the two to escape to Ladakh," said the police. Tejeswar's murder surfaced weeks after Raja Raghuvanshi's killing by his wife Sonam and her lover Raj Kushwaha during their honeymoon in Meghalaya last month.

Recces, phone calls, fake client ruse: Five, including wife, held for Gadwal man's murder
A 32-year-old private land surveyor from Gadwal was found murdered in Andhra Pradesh's Nandyal district, 30 days after his wedding. The body was recovered over 200 kilometres from his hometown, near the Handri-Neeva Sujala Sravanthi (HNSS) canal on June 21. The Gadwal police have detained five suspects, including his wife, Iswarya, a native of Kurnool, in what the police said was a premeditated murder linked to an affair. The case resembles the recent Meghalaya honeymoon murder, in which an Indore-based newlywed Raja Raghuvanshi was killed by his wife and her lover during the couple's honeymoon in the East Khasi Hills. The victim in the Gadwal case, Tejeswar, who is also a dance teacher, stepped out for work on June 17 but did not return home, prompting his brother to file a missing person complaint on June 18. After tracking the mobile location, the body was found near the Handri-Neeva Sujala Sravanthi (HNSS) canal. Gadwal Town Sub Inspector of Police Kummari Srinivas, who is investigating the case, said the murder was premeditated and appears to be linked to Iswarya's alleged affair with Tirumala Rao, a manager at a non-banking finance company in Gadwal. The two were allegedly involved for the past three years, despite Mr. Rao being married for the last six years. CCTV footage showed Tejeswar getting into a sedan with three occupants, all contract killers hired by Mr. Rao. The men claimed that a land parcel near Erravalli needed a survey. Unaware of their intentions, he joined them. 'The vehicle drove towards Erravalli and stopped at Veerapuram stage, off the national highway (NH) 44. There, the assailants attacked him with a knife and suffocated him by sitting on his neck. His body was later dumped over 100 kilometres away near the HNSS canal,' the official explained. Meticulous planning The official said that the murder was the result of meticulous planning that spanned nearly three months. 'The hired killers had been conducting repeated reccees along the route from Kurnool to Gadwal, closely studying the victim's movements and familiarising themselves with possible escape paths. Mobile phone records have revealed frequent communication between the accused, all pointing that the suspects carefully planning each stage of the crime,' the official explained. The wedding between Tejeswar and Iswarya was originally scheduled for January 10 but was called off by the victim's family based on some suspicion. However, Iswarya later persuaded Tejeswar, and the two tied the knot on May 18. 'This change of plans could be a part of the larger manipulation, as the timeline suggests that planning for the murder began shortly after the couple reunited,' the official said. Further investigation is underway.
