Telangana Woman, Lover Hire Hitmen to Kill Husband for Rs 2 Crore Insurance
A Telangana woman allegedly plotted her husband's murder with her lover and hired hitmen to stage it as a road accident to claim ?2 crore in insurance money.
A shocking murder case from Telangana has come to light where a man's death was allegedly staged as a road accident to claim ?2 crore in insurance money.
Bharathi and Saini Kumar were married, but Bharathi was reportedly having an affair with a man named Surender. The two wanted to be together and allegedly saw Saini Kumar as an obstacle. In January 2025, Bharathi started paying premiums for her husband's life insurance policies, knowing she would receive around ?2 crore if he died in an accident.
To carry out the plan, Bharathi and Surender allegedly offered ?10 lakh to Ram Mallesh to kill Saini Kumar and paid him ?2 lakh in advance. Ram Mallesh then took the help of another man, Sriram.
On 22 May 2026, the accused allegedly made Saini Kumar consume a large amount of alcohol and then attacked him with a hammer. They placed his body and his two-wheeler on the roadside to make it appear as a road accident and fled the scene. Saini Kumar later died while being taken to the hospital.
The case took a turn when Saini Kumar's mother, Lakshmi, became suspicious and filed a complaint. During the investigation, police uncovered Bharathi's affair, the ?2 crore insurance policy, money transactions with the accused, and links between the conspirators.
Police have arrested Bharathi, her boyfriend Surender, and Sriram. Ram Mallesh, who allegedly arranged the murder, is still absconding. The case has recently gone viral due to comparisons with the Pune murder case.
If you need it even shorter for a news script or reel, I can condense it further into 5–6 paragraphs.
