Wife & Mother-In-Law Arrested For Killing Husband Over Common Lover In Andhra Pradesh's Kurnool

Adding to the list of women killing their husbands because of extramarital affairs, an incident has come to light from Andhra Pradesh's Kurnool district. But this case has a twist: the woman and her mother were romantically involved with the same man.

A 32-year-old Telangana-based land surveyor was discovered murdered in Andhra Pradesh’s Kurnool district. His newlywed wife and his mother-in-law were taken into custody for allegedly plotting his murder with the help of the mother & daughter's mutual lover. The deceased has been identified as Tejeshwar and his wife Aishwarya.

The lover, a bank employee, is absconding. Tejeshwar and Aishwarya got married on May 18, 2025 and Tejeshwar had reportedly gone missing on June 17 and his dead body was found the same day about 30-40 km east of Kurnool city in Andhra Pradesh.

Reportedly, Tejeshwar was lured under the pretext of conducting a land survey, murdered in a moving vehicle, after which his body was dumped.The lover is believed to have hired contract killers to murder Tejeshwar.

Reportedly, days before her engagement, Aishwarya had gone missing, allegedly eloping with her lover. She returned after a few days, claiming she had only visited a friend due to family pressure over dowry.

As things went forward, Tejeshwar noticed Aishwarya secretly talking on the phone and distancing herself emotionally from her newly married husband. Call data records later showed over 2,000 calls between Aishwarya and the bank employee even after the wedding.

Reportedly, the motive behind the killing was the man's property and assets and his objections to his wife’s association with the bank employee.

Reportedly, the bank employee arranged for contract killers and even sent his own driver with them.

Both Aishwarya and her mother Sujata have reportedly confessed to their role in plotting the murder during the interrogation. A search is on for the absconding bank employee and other suspects involved in the murder.
