School principal murdered in Telangana’s Nalgonda district
A 48-year-old school principal was stabbed to death by unidentified people at her residence in Telangana’s Nalgonda district, police said, adding that people known to the victim might have killed her
A school principal in Nalgonda district, Telangana, was brutally stabbed to death at her home, according to police reports. Kallu Roopa Reddy, 48, the principal of Nagarjuna Grammar English Medium School, was the victim. Police suspect that acquaintances of the victim may have committed the heinous act. The incident occurred at JB Colony in Kondamallepally on Wednesday.
Roopa Reddy had gone to Hyderabad with her husband, Kallu Rajender Reddy, during a three-day holiday that began on Saturday. She returned to Kondamallepally alone on Tuesday morning for work and attended school until around 5:30 pm. She informed her colleagues that friends were expected to visit, but she did not return to the school on Wednesday.
When her husband tried to contact her, he could not reach her. Neighbors and a local police officer investigated the house and found her lifeless body in a pool of blood. The attacker had inflicted 27 stab wounds on the victim, suggesting a brutal and premeditated attack. No valuable items or money were missing from the house, which rules out theft as a motive at this time.
Police are looking into the possibility that someone known to Roopa Reddy may have committed the murder, as well as family disputes and other potential motives. A case has been registered based on a complaint filed by the victim's son, Abhinav Reddy. Further investigations are underway.
