The victim, G. Jhansi Rajni, who was reported dead on May 24, had written a letter to the CI of the Nakrekal police station before her death revealing shocking details of an assault by her mother and husband.
In the letter sent via India Post, which was received by the police on May 28, four days after her death, Jhansi Rani revealed that her husband, G. Vijayender Reddy, 31, and her mother, G. Padma, 43, were in a sexual relationship, and that Padma had forced her into the marriage. It also revealed that Vijayender is a nephew of Padma and their relationship was many years old.
On May 24, Jhansi Rani was murdered in her house at Nakrekal. After that Padma and Vijayender buried the body in a hurry. They told neighbours that Jhansi had committed suicide.
The police suspects that Padma and Vijayender fed Jhansi pesticide forcefully and killed her. Police said Padma had take '20 lakh from Vijayender and was not able to pay it back. Padma, whose husband had passed away four years ago, then forced her daughter to marry him. Later, in order to recover the money, they both forced her into prostitution.
