A tragic and disturbing crime has rocked Jogulamba Gadwal district, Telangana. Just weeks after his wedding, 32-year-old Ganta Tejeshwar—a private land surveyor and dance teacher—was found brutally murdered.

What Happened

• Tejeshwar disappeared on the morning of June 17 after leaving home, and his brother reported him missing the next day.
• CCTV footage showed him leaving in a car with known associates. His body was found on June 21 near Panyam, Kurnool (Andhra Pradesh).

The Plot

• Though married to Aishwarya (23), she continued an affair with her 35-year-old lover, Tirumala Rao.
• Feeling trapped after marriage, the pair allegedly hired a contract killer via Kummari Nagesh.
• They planted a GPS tracker on Tejeshwar’s bike and lured him on the pretext of a land survey.
• During the return journey, he was violently attacked—stabbed, bludgeoned, and his throat slit. Rao then guided the killers to dump the body near a canal. His mobile phone and belongings were disposed of.

Financial Motive

• Rao reportedly paid ₹1 lakh upfront and ₹2 lakh after the murder for the hit.

Arrests & Investigation

• Police have arrested eight suspects, including Aishwarya and Rao.
• Investigators reveal Rao had a prior relationship with Aishwarya’s mother before being involved with her.
• Aishwarya’s family initially pressured her into marrying Tejeshwar; she and Rao planned to elope to Ladakh after the murder.

What’s Next

• All accused are in custody as the police dig deeper into motive, planning, and possible accomplices.
