Nizamabad police have uncovered a shocking murder case in which a wife, Soumya Pallati, conspired with her lover, N Dileep, to kill her husband, insurance agent Pallati Ramesh, for a term insurance payout exceeding Rs. 30 lakh.

Soumya, a private school employee, plotted the murder to remove her husband, who had become an obstacle in her illicit relationship, and to claim the insurance money.

Planned Killing Disguised as Natural Death

On December 20, Soumya and Dileep allegedly drugged Ramesh and strangled him while he was asleep. To make the death appear natural, Soumya claimed that her husband had suffered a heart attack and hastily conducted his last rites. The couple also tried to convince neighbors and relatives of the supposed natural cause of death.

Brother’s Suspicion Breaks the Case

The seemingly “perfect crime” was uncovered thanks to Ramesh’s younger brother, Pallati Kethari, a migrant worker in Israel. Suspicious about the sudden death, Kethari alerted the Makloor police. Acting on his complaint, police exhumed the body on December 24, and forensic reports confirmed signs of strangulation, contradicting the heart attack claim.

Confession and Arrests

During intense questioning, Soumya and Dileep admitted to the murder, revealing that greed and an illicit relationship were the main motives. Police arrested seven people connected to the case, including the couple. Legal proceedings are ongoing, as authorities investigate the full extent of the conspiracy and the roles of accomplices.

The case has shocked residents of Boragam village in Nizamabad district. Authorities have urged the public to report suspicious deaths and warned about crimes committed for financial gain.
