Telangana Man Tejeshwar Found Dead Days After Disappearance
The 28-year-old victim named Tejeshwar was a resident of Gadwal in Telangana, and was found dead days after he was missed on June 18, nearly a month after his wedding, PTI news agency reported.
His body was discovered during the investigation near Panyam town in Kurnool district, Andhra Pradesh, police reported.
Tejeshwar’s family claimed that his wife conspired against him for murder as she was having an extramarital relationship. They also accused that Tejeshwar’s wife, post-marriage, spent most of her time talking on the phone and they believed that she was communicating with her mother and other relatives.
Marriage Went Ahead Despite Earlier Concerns
The wedding was to take place in February, but the man’s family was trying to cancel it at the eleventh hour as the bride supposedly left home for seven days.
Following the woman’s subsequent contact with Tejeshwar and convincing him to proceed with the marriage, the two got married in Kurnool some weeks ago, victim’s family claimed.
Tejeshwar was a licensed land surveyor, according to the PTI report.
