Police said Kalyani decided to eliminate Tanvitha, as she thought the latter to be an obstacle to her extramarital affair.

On July 1, when Tanvitha returned from school, she smothered her to death with a pillow. She informed her husband, family members and police that she had died in sleep.

However, based on Ramesh’s suspicion, the police took Kalyani into custody and questioned her, and she confessed to the murder.
