Recent Similar Crime in Telangana

Earlier this month, a woman lawyer was brutally murdered, allegedly by her own brother and his associates, over an ancestral property dispute in Telangana's Moinabad. Police have arrested four accused in connection with the killing of advocate G Swapna, who was practising at the Chevella Court.

According to police, the murder took place on February 4 at Kethireddypally village when Swapna had gone to survey her ancestral land along with her mother. The accused, Swapna's elder brother G Raju and three others, allegedly conspired to eliminate her to grab her share of the disputed four acres of land located in Survey No. 339 of Kethireddypally village, police said. Police said the accused have been identified as G Raju, Errolla Sandeep, Vadde Veeresh, and Kavali Shiva Lingam.

Details of the Attack

During the investigation, an Innova car, a scooty, four mobile phones, and a sickle used in the crime were seized. Providing details of the incident, police said that on the morning of February 4, Swapna and her mother, Gotika Venkatamma, had completed a land survey and were returning towards the road connecting Venkatapur and Nakkalapally. At around 9:30 AM, the accused allegedly arrived in a car and deliberately rammed into Swapna, causing her to fall into a pit. They then attacked her with sticks and stones, struck her on the head, and slit her throat with a sickle. (ANI)
