Tirupati: Anantapur Student’s Murder: Shocking Revelations Emerge
The brutal murder of Tanmayi, an Intermediate student in Anantapur, has sent shockwaves across Andhra Pradesh. Police investigations have uncovered chilling details, with the prime suspect, Naresh, confessing to the crime. The case, marked by premeditation and extreme violence, continues to unfold as authorities probe deeper.
Motive Behind the Crime
Naresh, already married to another woman from a different caste, admitted to killing Tanmayi to evade her demands for marriage. Their relationship began when Naresh, a tiles worker, frequented Tanmayi’s neighborhood for a construction project, leading to familiarity. Tanmayi’s insistence on marriage reportedly prompted Naresh to plan her elimination.
Sequence of Events
On the day of the crime, Naresh lured Tanmayi to a secluded area under false pretenses. He attacked her with a stone, inflicting severe injuries, and then used a beer bottle to fatally assault her, police said. The body was discovered days later, sparking outrage in the community.
Financial Transactions Uncovered
Investigations revealed Tanmayi frequently contacted Naresh using her father’s phone and transferred money to him via digital payments and cash. These transactions, confirmed by Naresh during interrogation, suggest a complex dynamic between the two. Police are examining whether these exchanges played a role in the motive.
Police Investigation Intensifies
Authorities are collecting forensic and technical evidence to strengthen the case against Naresh. They are also exploring whether others were involved in the crime, leaving no stone unturned. The investigation remains ongoing, with a focus on ensuring justice for Tanmayi’s family.
Discovery of the Body
Tanmayi, a second-year student at Vivekananda College, went missing on June 3, prompting her parents to file a police complaint. On June 7, an unidentified body was found near Gotkuru, close to the Anantapur-Ballari highway. Her parents confirmed it was Tanmayi, leading to widespread grief.
Community and Official Response
Tanmayi’s parents have demanded stringent punishment for the perpetrators, expressing anguish over their loss. State ministers have condemned the act, vowing to ensure the guilty face severe consequences. Public outcry has intensified pressure on authorities to act swiftly.
