In his confession to the police, Gangaraju revealed that he had long suspected his wife of infidelity, which led to frequent arguments between them. On Wednesday afternoon, in a fit of rage, he attacked Bhagya with the machete. When Navya and Hemavati tried to intervene and defend Bhagya, Gangaraju turned on them, blaming them for supporting his wife during their disputes.
After killing all three women, Gangaraju contacted the police control room, stating that he wanted to surrender. Police confirmed that the murders were driven by family-related issues and personal conflicts.
