Newly Married Man Killed in Telangana; Wife and Her Lover Arrested
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

- Aishwarya’s family initially pressured her into marrying Tejeshwar; she and Rao planned to elope to Ladakh after the murder.
