Hyderabad: H Venkateshwarlu, SHO Maheshwaram police station, said that B Anjaiah, 43 years, resident of Maheshwaram, was married to Anitha in 2008. The couple have two children.
In 2023, Anjaiah met with an accident and was not doing any work since. After remaining at home for long, Anjaiah got addicted to liquor and was drinking heavily. He was recently admitted to a rehabilitation centre.
While Anjaiah was staying at the rehabilitation centre, his wife Anitha came in contact with P Anjaiah staying in her village.

On a complaint from B Anjaiah’s relatives, the police booked a case and, on suspicion, took into custody Anitha, who on interrogation admitted to having killed B Anjaiah with the help of her paramour and friends.
