According to police, Raju often picked up fights with his wife over trivial issues. After one such argument on Thursday early hours, he is suspected to have slit her throat with a knife and killed her. After confirming her death, he hanged himself from the ceiling fan in the hall.

The bodies were shifted to the Gandhi Hospital morgue and later handed over to family members after autopsy. A case was registered by the Jagadgirigutta police under the Cyberabad Police Commissionerate. They said they were investigating the case from all angles and trying to find out if Raju had any financial or mental health issues.

According to Kavitha’s family, Raju used to frequently fight and did not treat her well.
