Hyderabad: Footage from the CCTV camera outside her house has led the Nalgonda police to two students in the murder of school principal Rupa Reddy last week, said reports on Wednesday, August 19.
The students, who have been detained, allegedly held a grudge against her.
According to Nalgonda Police, Roopa Reddy was found dead with multiple stab wounds at her residence in Kondamallepally mandal last week. Police said she was alone at home when the incident took place.
Her husband, who was in Hyderabad, became concerned after she did not respond to his phone calls. He informed some neighbours, who alerted the police. A police team subsequently reached the residence and found her dead.
The victim had multiple stab wounds on her stomach and neck, allegedly inflicted with a knife or another sharp-edged weapon.
When asked about reports that Roopa Reddy had suffered 27 stab wounds, a police official said she had sustained multiple injuries, but the exact number would be confirmed after the post-mortem examination report, which is awaited.
A murder case was registered at Kondamallepally police station based on a complaint filed by the victim’s son.
Police said the investigation is underway.
