In a chilling turn of events, a couple has been arrested for the murder of a 15-year-old Class 10 student who had witnessed their relationship and threatened to expose it. The tragic incident occurred in Telangana's Khammam district.
The victim, identified as Ravi, was a resident of Chinnakorukondi village. According to the police, Aparna, a woman separated from her husband, and Ajay, a local youth, were allegedly involved in an intimate relationship. The relationship took place at Aparna's grandmother's house in the same village.
Ravi reportedly stumbled upon Aparna and Ajay together in a private situation and threatened to reveal their relationship to his family members. Fearing exposure, the duo allegedly conspired to eliminate Ravi. On October 24, they took him to an isolated location outside the village and mixed weed killer into a soft drink, which they made him consume.
Ravi fell seriously ill after consuming the drink. His family rushed him to Khammam Government Hospital on October 25, but his condition deteriorated, and he succumbed to his injuries while undergoing treatment. Following an investigation, Aparna and Ajay were arrested and sent to judicial remand. The police are currently conducting further investigations into the case, as reported by Circle Inspector Sarvayya.
