Betrayal and Blood: Telangana Woman, Two Lovers Arrested for Husband's Murder
A woman in Telangana conspired with two lovers to murder her husband and dump his body in a lake to fake an accident. Read the full story.
In a chilling case of betrayal and calculated violence, the Banswada police in Telangana have uncovered a sinister plot where a woman, aided by two of her lovers, allegedly murdered her husband and attempted to pass it off as a tragic accident. The investigation into the death of a 26-year-old daily-wage labourer has revealed a web of illicit affairs and a cold-blooded conspiracy to kill.
A Suspicious Death at the Pond
The tragedy unfolded on the night of October 23, 2026, when the body of Gummadi Kashiram, also known as Chakali, was discovered at Pachera Cheruvu, a pond located on the outskirts of Hanmajipet village in Banswada mandal. Kashiram, a daily-wage worker, was found dead in the water, leading his father, Chakali Bhumayya, to file a complaint.
Initially, the Banswada Police Station registered the incident as a case of suspicious death. However, the narrative shifted dramatically following a preliminary post-mortem report, which confirmed that Kashiram had not died by accident but had been murdered. Consequently, the police altered the legal charges to Section 103 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
The Investigation and Breakthrough
Determined to find the truth, the police intensified their probe. Investigators meticulously examined the crime scene, recorded statements from various witnesses, and analyzed technical evidence. Their persistence paid off on October 30, when acting on credible intelligence, the police apprehended three suspects from Hanmajipet village.
The arrested individuals have been identified as:
- Gummadi Savitha (25): The wife of the deceased.
- Chintakindi Ramu (26): A daily-wage labourer.
- Pasupula Santhosh (25): A tractor driver.
A Deadly Conspiracy Unveiled
During rigorous interrogation, the trio confessed to the crime, revealing a shocking motive. Police officials stated that Savitha was involved in illicit affairs with both Ramu and Santhosh. Desperate to rid herself of her husband to be with her lovers, she hatched a detailed plan with them to eliminate Kashiram.
The Night of the Crime
On the night of October 23, the conspirators lured Kashiram out under the pretext of drinking liquor. Once Kashiram was heavily intoxicated and unable to defend himself, the trap was sprung. While Santhosh pinned down the victim's hands to ensure he could not struggle or escape, Ramu used a nylon rope to strangle him to death.
To cover their tracks and mislead investigators, the trio dumped Kashiram's lifeless body into the Panchera Cheruvu pond, hoping it would be viewed as an accidental drowning.
Legal Action and Evidence
The Banswada police have seized several pieces of evidence, including mobile phones and other materials used during the commission of the crime. The accused have been booked under Sections 103 and 238 read with 3(5) of the BNS.
Following their arrest and confession, the three accused were produced before the court and have been sent to judicial remand.
