WARANGAL: In a suspected contract killing case, Parkal police in Hanamkonda district have arrested a woman and two others for allegedly murdering her husband and burning the body in the forests of Mulugu district.
The deceased, Madikonda Suman (34), a tractor driver from CSI Colony in Parkal town, had been reported missing on April 3. Police said the case later turned into a murder investigation following evidence gathered during inquiry.
According to police, Suman’s wife Lavanya, a municipal sanitation worker, allegedly conspired with her partner Naresh and her brother Raju to eliminate him over her extramarital relationship. Investigators said a supari gang from Mulugu district was also hired for the crime.
Police stated that Lavanya allegedly lured Suman to the outskirts of Govindaraopet on April 4 under the pretext of a social outing. He was reportedly given alcohol before being attacked. The accused allegedly attempted to destroy evidence by setting the body on fire.
The case came to light after Suman’s mobile phone activity raised suspicion and led investigators to the Govindaraopet forest area, where a charred body was recovered.
Police said preliminary investigation suggests Lavanya had earlier made attempts to kill her husband and had allegedly paid Rs 5 lakh to execute the plan.
Following the complaint from family members and further investigation, Lavanya, Naresh and Raju have been taken into custody. A case of murder and criminal conspiracy has been registered, and efforts are on to trace others involved in the gang.
Relatives of the deceased staged a protest at Parkal police station demanding strict action against the accused.
