Police cracked case of woman found dead in trolley bag in Hyderabad
Police investigation revealed that the accused reportedly had an extramarital affair with the deceased.
Hyderabad: The Bachupally police on Thursday claimed that they have solved the murder case of a woman whose body was found stuffed in a travel bag in Hyderabad’s Bachupally area on Wednesday. The woman’s body has been identified by the Cyberabad police.
The victim is a Nepalese, who was allegedly murdered by a youth, who is also from Nepal.
According to reliable information, Vijay Topa (30) and Tara Behara (33), both from neighboring villages in the Himalayan country, had been in a relationship for some time.
Tara, who was previously married and had two children, had fallen in love with Vijay and he had brought her from Nepal to Hyderabad in April 2025.
The couple initially rented a house in a slum colony in the Jubilee Hills area and started living together. However, Vijay, who is working as a cook at a Chinese fast food centre, shifted his residence to Indiramma Colony in Bowrampet, a suburb of the city due to the employment opportunities. During this time, Tara Behara became pregnant.
Upon learning about the pregnancy, Vijay wanted her to undergo abortion while Tara allegedly insisted on keeping it.
On the night of May 23, the couple had a heated argument over the matter. As things escalated, an enraged Vijay strangled Tara and killed her.
Vijay concealed her body in his room as he could not dispose of it. As he devised a plan to dispose of the body, he went to Ramdev Bag Store in Bachupally and bought a trolley bag.
He then booked a bike taxi and dumped it at a secluded spot. The police are yet to arrest the suspect.
