“On checking the bag, the policemen found the body of a woman in it. Ramulu was detained and on questioning, he admitted to killing Devika and taking the body to dispose it,” said ACP Shadnagar, Ch. Kushalkar.

Ramulu told the police their family did not have a son and after convincing Devika’s husband, Purushotham two months ago, he adopted the couple’s son aged around three months. He paid Rs 1.5 lakh to Purushotham as a goodwill.
