In an incident similar to Shraddha Walkar murder, Hyderabad Police arrested a man for killing a woman on May 24. The accused has been identified as a 48-year-old man named B. Chandra Mohan.

Police said that the accused Chandra Mohan had killed the deceased Anuradha Reddy by stabbing her and later cutting her body into several pieces for disposal.

"On May 17, we received a complaint from a GHMC worker informing that at a garbage dumping place opposite Afzal Nagar Community Hall, near Musi river, beside Theegalguda road he found one head of an unidentified woman in a black cover," said DCP South East zone CH Rupesh.

Police said that the accused killed the woman on May 12 in a pre-planned event. Police further added that the accused purchased two stone-cutting machines (small) in order to dispose of the body.

"We (the police) had formed a total of eight teams to investigate the matter. After analysing the matter over a week we got one accused. After interrogation of the accused, the deceased has been identified as Y Anuradha Reddy aged 55 years. The accused was having a relationship with the deceased. Out of their relationship, the accused accommodated the deceased in one of the parts of his house on the ground floor. Since 2018 the accused took a huge amount nearly Rs. 7 lakhs from the deceased but did not return the amount in spite of repeated requests by the deceased. The deceased was pressurizing the accused for the money, due to which the accused felt disgusted with the attitude of the deceased and hatched a plan to get rid of the deceased," he added.
