Jagtial Rural CI Arif Ali Khan visited the spot. Though the exact reason is not yet known, a love affair was said to be the reason for the murder.

According to villagers, Vamshi had an affair with a woman of the same village and her parents had refused to perform their marriage as both of them belonged to different castes.

Recently, she was married to another person from the same village. However, she was not interested in living with him and had returned to her mother’s home. Enraged over this, the woman’s family members might have killed Vamshi, villagers said.

The body was shifted to Jagtial government hospital. Police are investigating.
