Woman murder case solved, accused held
Puttaparthi: Acting on the instructions of Sri Sathya Sai District Superintendent of Police, V Ratna, police have successfully solved a woman's murder case and arrested the accused.
The case pertains to the murder of a woman, allegedly killed by her live-in partner due to suspicions over her relationship with another man. The details were revealed by the SP during a press conference held on Sunday at the district police headquarters conference hall in Puttaparthi, alongside Puttaparthi DSP Vijay Kumar.
The deceased, Saraswathi (35), originally from Sadulavandlapalli village in Gandlapenta Mandal, had been living separately from her husband Anjaneyulu for several years due to marital disputes. She had filed for divorce and moved to Thalupula with her two sons around eight years ago. She was residing in Balijapet and working as a daily wage laborer. During this time, she developed a relationship with Sikander, a local construction worker (Beldar), which eventually led to a live-in arrangement. Sikander, who was living with both his wife and Saraswathi, reportedly grew suspicious after noticing Saraswathi having frequent and long phone conversations with another man.
Their relationship became strained, leading to frequent quarrels. On April 22, when Saraswathi's children were away in Kadiri for a family function, Sikander took advantage of her being alone.
During an argument, he strangled her to death using a nylon rope. He then tied her body and transported it on his motorcycle to a remote location near Jammugadda Vanka close to Thalupula Gandi Road, where he buried it under a mound of stones.
In an attempt to avoid suspicion, Sikander continued his routine visits to her residence. However, as weeks passed without any trace of Saraswathi, her elder son lodged a missing person complaint at Thalupula Police Station.
SP V Ratna took the case seriously and directed Puttaparthi DSP Vijay Kumar to intensify the investigation. During the investigation, police identified Sikander as the prime suspect and launched a search operation.
Based on a tip-off that he was in Rajampet, police moved in to arrest him. Realizing he was being tracked, Sikander voluntarily surrendered before the Thalupula Tahsildar, confessing to the crime.
Based on his statement, the Thalupula SI recorded the details and began further investigation

Man, Woman Trespass Into Salman Khan's House, Taken Into Custody
Last Updated: In April 2024, gunshots were also fired outside Salman Khan's Galaxy Apartments in Mumbai's Bandra area. In a shocking incident, two people entered Salman Khan's Galaxy Apartment in Mumbai on May 19th and 20th, respectively. CNN-News18 has learnt that a man entered the Bollywood superstar's house at around 7:15 pm on May 20th. However, he was soon caught. He has been identified as Jitendra Kumar Singh and is said to be a resident of Chhattisgarh. He is currently in police custody. Prior to this, a woman also tried to enter Salman Khan's residence in the wee hours of the same day. She has been identified as Isha Chhabra and is reportedly 32 years old. It is being said that the woman was near the lift area of Salman Khan's building when the security guards caught her. She was then handed over to the Bandra police. A case has been filed, and further investigation is underway. While more details are awaited, this has surely raised concerns about Salman Khan's security, who has also been getting death threats for a long time now. In April 2024, gunshots were also fired outside Khan's Galaxy Apartments in Mumbai's Bandra area. Later, it was reported that the Lawrence Bishnoi gang is alleged to be behind the attack as the gangster's brother, Anmol Bishnoi, claimed responsibility for the shooting incident via a Facebook post. After the shocking incident, Salman's security was upgraded. Later in July, Salman Khan also recorded his statement in connection to the house firing case when he claimed that the Lawrence Bishnoi gang was trying to kill him. 'I heard a cracker-like sound. Then, at around 4.55 am, the police bodyguard said that two people on a bike had fired from a weapon at the Galaxy Apartment's first-floor balcony. There had been attempts to hurt me and my family prior to this as well. I have learnt that Lawrence Bishnoi has taken responsibility for the attack from social media. So, I believe that it is the Lawrence Bishnoi gang who have carried out the firing on my balcony," Salman Khan told the anti-extortion cell of the Mumbai Crime Branch. In March this year, Salman was promoting his movie Sikander when he talked about death threats and answered if he is scared of the multiple death threats he has received. 'Bhagwan, Allah sab unpar hai. Jitni umar likhi hai, utni likhi hai. Bas yahi hai. Kabhi kabhi itne logon ko saath mein leke chalna padta hai, bas wohi problem ho jaati hai," the actor said.
