According to the police, on February 28, Shireesha had resigned from her job at Vivera hospital. On coming to know about it the next day Saritha confronted her asking the reason that prompted her to leave the job.

An argument ensued between Shireesha and Saritha during which both of them pushed and hit each other. Later, they reconciled and went to their rooms in their house. “A little later, Shireesha asked Saritha to administer an injection. Keeping in mind the conduct of Shireesha towards her, Saritha administered high dose of midazolam via an IV cannula to Shireesha. Due to it the victim went into deep sleep. Then Saritha took a pillow and smothered Shireesha to death,” said ACP Malakpet, G Shyam Sunder.

Afterwards, Saritha informed about the death of Shireesha to her husband Vinay, who along with his nephew Nihal, informed everyone that the victim died of heart attack. They planned to shift the body in their native place Domalapental, Nagarkurnool district. However, on suspicion a relative of Shireesha approached the police and made a complaint.

The police took into custody Vinay who on questioning spilled the beans. The police later took into custody Saritha and Nihal. All the three persons are arrested and remanded.
