Telangana School Principal Found Dead At Home With 27 Stab Wounds

In Telangana’s Nalgonda district, a 48-year-old school principal lost her life in a brutal stabbing incident at her residence on Wednesday, according to police. Kallu Roopa Reddy, principal and director of Nagarjuna Grammar English Medium School, suffered approximately 27 stab wounds during the attack. Police suspect that people known to the victim may be responsible for the murder.

No cash or valuables were missing from the house, suggesting theft was not the motive. Roopa Reddy lived with her husband, Kallu Rajender Reddy, in their own house in the Colony. Their son, Abhinav Reddy, was pursuing engineering at a university in Hyderabad. The couple frequently traveled between their homes in Kondamallepally and Hyderabad.

On Saturday, Roopa Reddy traveled to Hyderabad with her husband for a three-day holiday. She returned to Kondamallepally alone on Tuesday morning and attended school. She was expected to receive friends at her residence, but did not return to school on Wednesday as planned. When her husband contacted her, he could not reach her.

Neighbors informed the police, who found Roopa Reddy in a pool of blood. Police are investigating the possibility that persons familiar with Roopa may have committed the murder, as well as family disputes and other possible motives. A case was registered based on a complaint filed by her son, Abhinav Reddy.
