A month-old marriage in Telangana has ended in a shocking crime, with a 32-year-old man brutally murdered in a plot allegedly hatched by his wife, her lover, and her mother. The case, which has sent shockwaves across the states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, has revealed a web of deceit, extramarital affairs, and a chilling murder-for-property plot.
The victim, G Tejeshwar, a private land surveyor from Gadwal district, married Aishwarya (also known as Sahasra), 25, from Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh, on 18 May 2025. Their marriage, held at the Anjaneya temple in Beechupalli, was already clouded by controversy.
The wedding, initially scheduled for February, was postponed after Aishwarya disappeared without informing her family. She returned after a few days, claiming financial struggles and family pressure, and the wedding finally took place despite some hesitation from Tejeshwar’s family.
Barely a month after their marriage, Tejeshwar went missing on 17 June. His body, bearing knife injuries and a slit throat, was later found dumped in a canal near Sugalimettu, Panyam mandal, about 30-40 km from Kurnool city. The police investigation quickly turned towards his wife and her family, especially after Tejeshwar’s relatives alleged that Aishwarya was involved in an extramarital affair even after the wedding.
The probe revealed a shocking twist: both Aishwarya and her mother, Sujatha, were reportedly involved with the same man—a senior employee at a well-known bank in Kurnool. Sujatha, who works as a sweeper at the bank, and her daughter had both developed relationships with this bank employee. Call records showed that after her marriage, Aishwarya made over 2,000 calls to the bank employee, raising suspicions about her loyalty and intentions.
According to the police, the bank employee, who is now absconding, orchestrated the murder with the help of hired killers and his personal driver. Tejeshwar was lured on the pretext of conducting a land survey for a 10-acre farmland. Once inside the vehicle, he was attacked with knives, his throat was slit, and his body was dumped in the canal. The motive, investigators believe, was to eliminate Tejeshwar so that the illicit relationship could continue and possibly to gain control over his property.
Both Aishwarya and her mother Sujatha have been arrested and, according to sources, have confessed to their roles in the conspiracy during police interrogation. The police have also detained three of the hired killers, while a manhunt is underway to nab the absconding bank employee, who is considered the main accused in the case.
