Hyderabad : A disturbing incident unfolded at IS Sadan in the city on a fateful Saturday afternoon, involving the alleged murder of a woman by her husband over an extramarital affair, followed by a retaliatory act by the woman’s lover.
The victim, identified as Swapna (21), hailing from Mahabubnagar district, had been residing in a rented house on the second floor of a building at NTR Colony, Champapet, under the jurisdiction of IS Sadan police station for the past year. Notably, she had developed a close friendship with Prem Kumar, who operated a tea stall, and the two had tied the knot just a month ago.
Tensions began to simmer when Prem started suspecting that his wife was involved in an extramarital relationship. Matters reached a boiling point on a Saturday morning when, feigning a departure for work, Prem returned home to find his wife in the company of another man named Suresh.
In a fit of rage, Prem reportedly attacked his wife with a knife, resulting in a tragic outcome where her throat was fatally slit. The situation escalated further as a fierce altercation erupted between Suresh and Prem. It culminated with Suresh allegedly pushing Prem from the second floor of the building, leading to severe head injuries, as explained by IS Sadan Inspector, S. Mallesh.
The homeowner, upon discovering Prem lying on the ground, acted swiftly to rush him to a hospital, where he is currently undergoing treatment. His condition is reported to be critical.
Tragically, the lifeless body of the woman was transferred to the mortuary at Osmania General Hospital for post-mortem examination. Law enforcement has initiated an investigation into the incident, with three dedicated teams formed to track down Suresh, who reportedly went into hiding following the altercation.
