The victim — 32-year-old land surveyor Ganta Tejeshwar — was abducted and killed allegedly at the behest of his wife and her lover, who used a GPS tracker and a team of hired men to carry out the crime. Police have now arrested eight people, including the wife, her lover, and three contract killers.

A GPS tracker was secretly placed on Tejeshwar's motorbike, and a local man named Jagan, from Gadwal, was enlisted to provide real-time updates. From plot to kill his own wife to murdering her husband Initially, Rao had allegedly planned to kill his own wife, but dropped the idea fearing repercussions from both families. He and Ishwarya then decided to eliminate Tejeshwar, who had married her just weeks earlier. Rao promised money and favours to a group of hired men from Kurnool to execute the murder. Killers posed as land buyers, lured victim to isolated spot The three killers — K Nagesh, Ch Parashuramudu, and Ch Raju — befriended Tejeshwar by pretending to be land buyers. On June 17, they picked him up in a rented car near Krishna Reddy Bungalow in Gadwal and drove him to an isolated location near Erravalli. There, they slit his throat and strangled him inside the vehicle. His body was later dumped in a canal near Panyam Ghat Road in Nandyal, and his mobile phones were discarded in the Krishna River. Gang paid Rs 3.5 lakh; body shown to mastermind before disposal After the killing, the accused met Tirumala Rao in Panyam and showed him the body. Rao allegedly paid the gang ?2 lakh on the spot, part of the promised Rs 3.5 lakh. While they initially considered burying the body on Rao's land, they later dumped it in the canal to avoid detection. The Swift Dzire used in the crime was later recovered. Vehicle check busts escape plan The escape plan fell apart when police intercepted the car carrying Rao and the three killers at the Pulluru inter-state toll plaza. A vehicle check led to their arrest. Based on their confessions, police arrested five more individuals: T Sahasra alias Ishwarya, wife of the victim and co-conspirator Tirupataiah, 64, Rao's father and a retired APSP constable, who helped him hide Sujatha, Ishwarya's mother, who was aware of the plot A Mohan, 30, a mason from Jammiched village who helped track Tejeshwar Jagan, the local informer from Gadwal All eight have been remanded to judicial custody. Police are now seeking custody for crime scene reconstruction and recovery of remaining evidence, including two more vehicles used in the crime. A troubled marriage from the start Tejeshwar, a resident of Rajaveedhi in Gadwal town, married Ishwarya on May 18 at a temple in Beechupalli, despite initial resistance from Tejeshwar's family. Their original wedding in February was called off after Ishwarya went missing days before the ceremony. She resurfaced later claiming financial struggles, and convinced Tejeshwar to go ahead with the marriage. However, differences emerged within weeks. Tejeshwar was reportedly disturbed by his wife's constant phone conversations with a man he did not know — now believed to be Tirumala Rao. Affair began with mother, shifted to daughter Investigators say Rao initially had a relationship with Sujatha, Ishwarya's mother, who worked as a sweeper at his office. In her absence, Ishwarya took over the cleaning duties, leading to her own affair with Rao. Police say she was fully aware of the murder conspiracy and even shared her husband's live location with the killers.

Police first stopped a Swift Dzire and discovered bags of ganja, taking the driver into custody. Meanwhile, the driver of a Tata goods vehicle approaching the same checkpoint attempted to flee but was also apprehended. The Commissioner said prime accused Nagaraju, originally from Madurai, had settled in Thagarapuvalasa. Learning of the high demand for ganja in Chennai, he began sourcing it from nearby agency areas at low prices and smuggling it to Tamil Nadu. Despite two prior arrests and jail time, Nagaraju resumed smuggling after his release. In this attempt, they loaded 100 kg of ganja in Nagaraju's car and another 100 kg in a mini goods vehicle, both heading towards Chennai. Police arrested both accused under relevant sections of the NDPS Act and seized the two vehicles used in the operation. Further investigation is ongoing.

In Telangana, a newlywed land surveyor was brutally killed, allegedly at the behest of his wife's lover.

Two held, ganja worth Rs 15 lakh seized
Vijayawada: In a major crackdown on drug trafficking, the NTR District Police have arrested two persons and seized approximately 200 kg ganja, valued at around Rs 15 lakh, along with the vehicles used for transportation. The confiscated items include a Swift Dzire car and a mini goods vehicle. Acting on precise intelligence, Eagle Teams and Law & Order police intercepted a Swift Dzire car during a vehicle check in the Geetanagar area, under the limits of Krishna Lanka Police Station. Krishna Lanka Sub-Inspector Bhanu Prasad and his team found bags of ganja inside the car and took the driver into custody. Shortly after, a Tata Goods driver, noticing the police check, attempted to flee but was apprehended. Following interrogation, police seized the 200 kg of ganja and the two vehicles, leading to the arrest of both individuals. The arrested have been identified as Andi Nagaraju from Tagarapu Valasa, Bheemunipatnam area, Visakhapatnam district and Anabalagan Sinnrasu from Kakki Singayan Patti village, Uttama Palayan, Tamil Nadu. Investigations revealed that the primary accused, Andi Nagaraju, originally from Madurai, Tamil Nadu, moved to Tagarapu Valasa at a young age. During his time in Madurai, he learned about the high demand for ganja there. Later, while living in Tagarapu Valasa, he discovered that ganja was extensively cultivated in nearby agency villages. He devised a plan to purchase ganja at low prices from these villages and sell it at higher rates in Chennai. Nagaraju contacted Anabalagan Sinnrasu, who agreed to the plan. To avoid suspicion, Sinnrasu had a false compartment built into the goods vehicle, where ganja bags were concealed under empty ice boxes. Nagaraju would drive a car ahead of the goods vehicle, constantly alerting Sinnrasu about police movements to ensure safe passage. The duo had previously been arrested twice for similar offenses and served jail time. After their release, they resumed their illicit activities. Nagaraju purchased 200 kg of ganja from agency villages and called Sinnrasu to bring the vehicle. They loaded 100 kg into Nagaraju's car and another 100 kg into the mini goods vehicle. Following their established method, with the car leading and the mini goods vehicle trailing, they set off for Chennai. The ganja and the two vehicles used for smuggling were seized.
