There’s a small area in the Kurnool district called Janaki Nagar, where a woman named Sujatha lived. She worked as a cleaner at a private finance company. Her life was simple and full of struggle. She lived in poverty but still did everything she could to take care of her daughter, Aishwarya, who was 25 years old.
Aishwarya had studied only up to 10th grade. After her father passed away, she stayed home to help her mother. Sujatha hoped to find a good groom for her daughter one day.
That’s when a man named Tejashwar entered their lives.
Tejashwar was 32 years old, a dance teacher and a private land surveyor by profession. Though it wasn’t a government job, he was licensed to work in private surveying. With hard work, he built a small house and was ready to settle down.
When his family started searching for a bride, a relative introduced him to Aishwarya. They met, liked each other, and soon got engaged in December 2024. Their wedding was fixed for May 18, 2025, at the Anjaneya Swamy Temple in Bichapalli.
The ceremony was simple but filled with joy. After marriage, Aishwarya moved into Tejashwar’s house in Gadwal. She spent a few days there, then went back to her mother’s house for post-wedding customs, as per tradition. Since both homes were just about 60 kilometers apart, she often traveled between the two.
Everything seemed fine. But just a month later, everything changed.
On June 17, 2025, Tejashwar left home early as usual for work. His job required him to visit different locations, but he always came back by evening. That day, however, he didn’t return.
When his family tried to call, his phone was switched off. They waited, but as hours passed, worry grew. His twin brother, Tejvardhan, began searching everywhere — friends, colleagues, old dance students — no one knew anything.
The next morning, on June 18, the family filed a missing person’s report.
Days went by with no clue. Then, on June 22, villagers near Nandulaya, about 140 kilometers away, found a body near the canal — the same one from the beginning.
Tejashwar’s father identified him by a bracelet and a tattoo on his arm that read “Amma” — his mother’s name.
The postmortem confirmed it was murder. Multiple deep cuts from sharp weapons were found on his neck and body.
The police began investigating. They checked his work connections, land disputes, and money matters. Soon, they got a major lead — CCTV footage near Krishna Reddy Bungalow in Gadwal. It showed Tejashwar sitting in a car with three men, chatting casually.
The footage revealed he knew them. Later, he moved to the front seat. The same car was later spotted near Nandyal Plaza, matching Tejashwar’s phone location.
The police then spoke with his family again — and found out about his recent marriage.
At first, they thought it was unrelated. But then they heard something odd: A few days before the wedding, Aishwarya had gone missing for three days.
She returned on May 16, saying she ran away because she felt guilty that her mother was struggling to afford the dowry. She apologized, and Tejashwar forgave her.
But after marriage, her behavior changed. She spent most of her time on her phone, rarely talking to her husband or his family. Even when Tejashwar went missing, she barely reacted — calm, emotionless.
The police checked her phone records. What they found stunned them.
From her wedding day to June 17, Aishwarya had made over 2,000 calls to one number — some lasting over an hour. In that same period, she had called her husband just 150 times.
The police also found a GPS tracker hidden under Tejashwar’s bike. His family said he never installed one. That meant someone else had — likely to track him.
And soon, everything became clear.
The phone number Aishwarya had called belonged to Tirumala Rao, the branch manager at the finance company where her mother, Sujatha, worked as a cleaner.
When questioned, Sujatha broke down and revealed everything.
Years ago, after losing her husband, Sujatha had started an affair with Tirumala, who was already married. He helped her financially, and she believed he truly cared for her.
But one day, when Sujatha fell ill and couldn’t go to work, she sent her daughter Aishwarya to clean the office in her place. That’s when everything changed.
Tirumala grew close to Aishwarya and soon began a relationship with her too. Both mother and daughter — involved with the same man.
When Sujatha found out, she was devastated. Hoping to break them apart, she quickly arranged Aishwarya’s marriage to Tejashwar. But Aishwarya never stopped talking to Tirumala.
When Tirumala found out she was married, he was furious. He told Sujatha, “If Aishwarya’s husband dies, she can come back. Then all three of us can live together.”
Incredibly, both women agreed.
To carry out the plan, Tirumala hired three men:
- Nagesh, a potter with a criminal record,
- Param, an auto driver,
- and Raju, his personal driver.
He bought a GPS tracker and gave it to Aishwarya to secretly attach to her husband’s bike.
On June 17, the killers tracked Tejashwar’s movements, picked him up under the pretense of a land deal, and murdered him brutally in Veeraram village. They even video-called Tirumala to show the killing.
Later, they dumped the body near the canal, threw his phone and bag into the river, and burned their clothes.
By June 24, police had arrested all eight people involved — including Aishwarya, her mother Sujatha, Tirumala Rao, and the hired killers.
The case shocked everyone who heard it.
A husband betrayed by the woman he loved.
A mother who helped kill her son-in-law.
And a man whose greed destroyed three lives — including his own.
This story didn’t just reveal a crime.
It showed how love, jealousy, and obsession can turn even the closest bonds into something dark and unrecognizable.
