As the parents of Kavitha fixed her marriage with somebody else in October, Balakrishna hatched a plot to murder her. Kavita used to give coaching to students in their houses in town. On Sunday, he took her to Kacharamgutta on his motor cycle and both of them drank pesticides to end their lives. Then, he slit Kavitha’s throat and killed her on the spot. After returning to Devarakonda, Balakrishna told his relatives that he drank poison and they got him admitted into a hospital in Hyderabad for treatment.

Meanwhile, the parents of Kavitha lodged a complaint with the police in Devarakonda that their daughter was missing. When the police swung into action and interrogated Balakrishna, he confessed to the crime. This was disclosed to the media by the Devarakonda CI Bhaskar.
