"Wife, Lover Orchestrate Chilling Honour Killing in Jogulamba Gadwal – 8 Arrested in Swift Police Crackdown"
Gadwal: A sensational murder case that shook both Telugu states has been cracked within a short period by the Jogulamba Gadwal district police. The investigation revealed that a wife and her paramour conspired to murder her husband, who was allegedly obstructing their illicit relationship. They hired a supari gang (contract killers) to carry out the murder. District Superintendent of Police (SP) T. Srinivasa Rao, IPS, conducted a press meet today revealing crucial details of the case. Case Background On 18th June 2025, a person named Ganta Tejavardhan, son of Ganta Jayaramudu, aged 32, resident of Kishtareddy Bangla, Gadwal, working in CCTV installation, lodged a missing person complaint at the Gadwal Town Police Station. He reported that his younger brother Ganta Tejeshwar, aged 32, a surveyor by profession, had gone missing on the morning of 17th June 2025, after leaving for work. Despite inquiries among friends, relatives, and neighbors, no trace of him was found. His motorbike was later found parked near Fatima ITI College, Gadwal, raising suspicion. The police registered CR No. 134/2025 as a man missing case, which was later altered with appropriate sections of BNS 61(1), 103(1), 140(1), 238. Based on CCTV footage and local intelligence, it was discovered that Tejeshwar was last seen being taken away in a car by some known individuals. The case was brought to the attention of District SP T. Srinivasa Rao, who immediately formed special investigation teams led by DSP Y. Mogiliya, and CI Tanguturi Srinu, along with SIs from Gadwal Town, Rural, and Gattu stations. Arrested Accused: 1. A1 - V. Tirumala Rao (35), Manager at CanFin Homes Ltd., Kurnool, AP 2. A2 - Aishwarya (23), wife of the deceased Tejeshwar, housewife, originally from Kurnool, AP 3. A3 - Kummari Nagesh (33), businessman, Krishna Nagar, Kurnool, AP 4.

A8 - Sujatha (50), daily wage laborer, Kurnool, AP – mother of A2 Modus Operandi: A1, Tirumala Rao, already married, was working as a manager at CanFin Home Loans Ltd. in Kurnool. He developed an illicit relationship with A8 - Sujatha, a sweeper in the same office, and later with her daughter A2 - Aishwarya. He promised Aishwarya marriage and continued the relationship even after her engagement to Tejeshwar in December 2024. The relationship between A1 and A2 continued secretly, creating complications. In order to eliminate the obstacle (her fiancé Tejeshwar), A1 and A2 conspired to have him murdered. A1 contacted his associates A3 and A4—both known for acting as middlemen in loan facilitation and previously involved in home loan transactions through CanFin. A1 gave them Tejeshwar's phone number and background, instructing them to befriend him under the pretext of buying agricultural lands. A3 and A4 called Tejeshwar, introduced themselves as home loan agents, and said they were interested in buying land in Gadwal. Tejeshwar believed them and started showing them plots around Gadwal. This continued for several days, during which they built trust with him. A few days before the murder, A1 ordered a GPS tracker online and gave it to A3 and A4. They discreetly attached the tracker under Tejeshwar's bike using tape to monitor his movements. Murder Execution: A2 – Aishwarya got married to Tejeshwar on May 18, 2025. However, the illicit affair between A1 and A2 did not stop. A1 called A3 and A4 to his bank and promised them money and favors if they killed Tejeshwar. He also assured that their pending files would be cleared. A3 and A4 decided to go ahead with the murder. They used the GPS device to track Tejeshwar's movements. On the day of the incident, they lured Tejeshwar into their vehicle and drove him to an isolated location. There, they brutally murdered him using machetes and a knife. The Gadwal police swiftly cracked the case, using technical surveillance, analysis of call data, and interrogations. A total of 8 people were arrested. The police seized the vehicle used in the crime, 2 machetes, 1 knife, 10 mobile phones, and the GPS tracker. Conclusion: SP T. Srinivasa Rao appreciated the swift action and coordination by the special investigation teams, which led to the successful resolution of a complex and sensitive murder case involving premeditated conspiracy and honor killing. The police stated that further investigation is underway and assured that all those involved will be prosecuted under the full extent of the law.

Land surveyor killed month after wedding, bride among those arrested for ‘plotting murder'
Police in Telangana's Jogulamba Gadwal district have arrested a newlywed woman and a man she was in a relationship with for allegedly hiring three persons to murder her husband. According to police, Tejeshwar Rao (26), a land surveyor, married Aishwarya on May 18. He went missing on June 17, and his brother lodged a missing person complaint the same day. During the investigation, Tejeshwar's family cast suspicion on Aishwarya, who they said was always on the phone. While the police were searching for Tejeshwar, they received a message from Andhra Pradesh's Kurnool district police about a decomposed body found in a canal on June 20. It was identified as that of Tejeshwar; his throat had been slit and the body had stab wounds. The police probe revealed that Aishwarya, who hails from Kurnool, used to work at a non-banking financial institution as a helper. Police said the institution's manager, Tirumala Rao, who is married, allegedly had an extramarital relationship with her. According to the police, Rao, who has no children, allegedly introduced Aishwarya to his wife and told her she was ready to marry him and give them children. His wife, police said, refused and warned him of the consequences, but the two allegedly continued their relationship. Aishwarya's mother, Sujatha, meanwhile, received a proposal from Tejeshwar's family for her daughter. After initially turning down the proposal, Aishwarya eventually agreed, police said. According to the police, Aishwarya remained in touch with Rao, and they allegedly planned to eliminate Tejeshwar and usurp his property. Rao allegedly hired three persons who had been seeking a loan from his institution for several months. He allegedly offered to pay Rs 3 lakh to kill Tejeshwar and get rid of his body. The trio posed as real estate dealers and sought Tejeshwar's help to survey a piece of land. When he arrived, they asked him to sit in a car and allegedly attacked him from behind. They allegedly disposed of the body in a canal. Officials said that Rao and Aishwarya were allegedly planning to flee to Ladakh, but put off the plan after Tejeshwar's body was found. Police have arrested Aishwarya, her mother Sujatha, Rao, his father, and the three alleged killers.

NEW DELHI: In a disturbing parallel to two separate cases of spousal betrayal and murder, love turned lethal not once—but twice. In Telangana, a newlywed land surveyor was brutally killed, allegedly at the behest of his wife's lover. Just weeks earlier, in Meghalaya, a young man on his honeymoon met a similar fate—murdered in cold blood after his wife allegedly paid her lover and his accomplices to track and kill him.

The couple had earlier cancelled their wedding in February after Ishwarya vanished for a few days. She returned and convinced Tejeshwar that she had left due to financial stress in her family. Believing her, Tejeshwar went ahead with the marriage, but tensions arose soon after. He reportedly grew suspicious of her constant phone conversations with an unknown person. On June 17, Tejeshwar left home after getting into a car for what he thought was a routine land survey, but never returned. Following a missing person complaint filed by his brother, police traced his last known movements through CCTV footage and found his decomposed body in the HNSS canal in Nandyal district, Andhra Pradesh, on June 21. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trending in in 2025: Local network access control [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo Police arrested three contract killers — Nagesh, Parashuram, and Raju — all from Kurnool, along with Ishwarya.

Greed, Marriage, Betrayal: Telangana Newlywed's Murder Echoes Chilling Meghalaya Honeymoon Case
Tejeshwar's wife Aishwarya, her lover Tirumala Rao — a bank manager — and six others, including her mother and members of a hired killer gang, have been arrested. The brutal murder of 32-year-old private surveyor Tejeshwar in Jogulamba Gadwal district has shocked Telangana and drawn nationwide attention due to its disturbing similarities with the infamous Meghalaya honeymoon murder case. Gadwal district SP T Srinivas Rao, in a press briefing, revealed that Tejeshwar's wife Aishwarya, her lover Tirumala Rao — a bank manager — and six others, including her mother and members of a hired killer gang, have been arrested for their alleged roles in the meticulously planned crime. The Chilling Crime Tejeshwar, who married Aishwarya on May 18, went missing exactly a month later on June 17. His body was discovered days later in a real estate venture near Kurnool. The investigation revealed a calculated murder driven by motives of property, extramarital affairs, and personal gain. Police said the murder had been in planning since the time of Aishwarya's engagement to another man, with her later manipulating Tejeshwar into marriage under false pretenses. The Conspiracy According to SP Srinivas Rao, Aishwarya and Tirumala Rao orchestrated the murder with chilling precision. Posing as a routine field survey, Tejeshwar was lured into a car on June 17 near Veerapuram in Gadwal mandal and allegedly killed by hired assailants. Tirumala Rao allegedly paid Rs 2 lakh to the supari gang to execute the plan. Despite their efforts, police were able to piece together the conspiracy through CCTV footage, mobile call data, GPS tracking, and over 2,000 recorded phone conversations between Aishwarya and Tirumala Rao. The two had allegedly even planned to escape to Ladakh and eventually flee abroad. Arrests and Evidence Police arrested Aishwarya, Tirumala Rao, Aishwarya's mother Sujatha, and members of the supari gang — Nagesh, Parasuram, and Raju. Two others were also arrested for assisting in the conspiracy, bringing the total number of accused to eight. Authorities recovered critical evidence including a car used in the crime, two machetes, a knife, ten mobile phones, a GPS tracker, and Rs 1.20 lakh in cash. Tirumala Rao was apprehended near Shamshabad airport, allegedly while attempting to abscond. SP Srinivas Rao added that the suspicious death of Aishwarya's brother Naveen is also under fresh investigation. Speaking to the media, SP T Srinivas Rao said: 'This case reflects how unchecked greed and illicit relationships can lead to horrifying crimes. Despite the accused trying to mimic high-profile murder cases and avoid mistakes, our team's swift and strategic investigation ensured justice for Tejeshwar." The case has not only stirred emotions across Telangana but has also become a national talking point, sparking discussions about morality, deception in marriages, and how digital evidence is reshaping criminal investigations. Locals and netizens alike have commended the Gadwal police for cracking the case swiftly and bringing the culprits to book. First Published: June 26, 2025, 13:52 IST
