Durga Rao revealed that the deceased woman was identified as Kalyani, also known as Durga, a native of Mangalagiri in Guntur district. Kalyani, who was 28 years old, was a semi-orphan and resided in an NGO home in Gannavaram during her childhood. She later married a man from Mangalagiri and had a son, but due to family issues, she was separated from her husband and was living alone.
Kalyani was reportedly involved in an affair with a mutton shop owner in Bhavanipuram, Vijayawada. On September 17, a quarrel erupted between Kalyani and the owner when she demanded money from him. Investigation officers believe that the murder was committed by at least two individuals, who then dismembered the body and disposed of the remains in the VTPS cooling canal to cover their tracks. Police verified the call data list from Kalyani's mobile phone and took three individuals into custody for questioning in the case.
