Bangalore Techie Pays Life for Love
Hyderabad/Bangalore, Mar 16 (TNN): A software professional of Bangalore-based Wipro, who had gone missing several days ago, was found murdered at a nala in Qutubullapur on Thursday. The Cyberabad police claimed his lover along with her family members murdered the youth.
The Saroornagar police said B Satish, 24, a software engineer with Wipro Technologies, had gone to his friend Mahender Reddy's residence at P&T Colony on February 1. Since then he had gone missing. On Thursday, Satish's body, which was completely burnt, was found in a nala in Qutubullapur.
Deputy commissioner of police (LB Nagar) S Chandrasekhar Reddy said two of the five suspects in the murder, Yadaiah and P Rajeshwar Goud, were arrested.
"During the investigation, we came to known that Satish was in love with one Lavanya, a resident of Borabanda and student of Mallareddy Engineering College. Satish and Lavanya became friends through online chatting. However, her parents were averse to their relationship and they even warned Satish not to meet her," Chandrasekhar Reddy said.
On February 1, Satish came to Hyderabad en route to Warangal to attend a function. The girl's family members came to know about his arrival in the city and told Lavanya to call him and ask him to meet her at Big Bazar, Ameerpet, police said.
"Immediately after Satish came to the location, Lavanya's cousin Sravan informed her parents. Yadaiah came to the location along with his friend Rajeshwar Goud in a car. Satish was forced into the car and throttled to death. Later, his body was taken to Kokkanda village in Medak and burnt. The burnt remains were collected in a plastic bag and dumped in a nala in Qutubullapur," the DCP said.
Police said they were looking for Sravan, Lavanya, and her mother Manikyam, who are the other accused in the conspiracy.
Satish, an MCA graduate, was a native of Ramagundam and his father Shankaraiah, is an auto driver.
The Cyberabad police took the investigation seriously only after the intervention of the State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) following a complaint by Shankaraiah.
