A woman was found dead inside an abandoned car near a private school in Khammam, with police alleging that her husband throttled her before leaving the vehicle behind and fleeing.
The case was registered by the Khanapuram Haveli police after the woman's relatives approached them with a complaint. The deceased has been identified as Renuka, wife of Vidyasagar, a car driver and a native of Rompedu village in Yellandu mandal of Bhadradri Kothagudem district.
According to the available details, the couple married six months ago and had been living in a rented house in Khammam. For the past few weeks, Vidyasagar had reportedly been quarrelling with his wife over domestic and family-related matters.
On Thursday, he is alleged to have taken Renuka in his car to the outskirts of Khammam town, where he throttled her. He then allegedly abandoned the vehicle near a private institution with the body still inside and fled the spot.
The incident came to light the following day, on Friday, when the deceased's relatives lodged a complaint with the police.
The exact motive behind the alleged murder was not immediately known. The Khanapuram Haveli police have registered a case and launched a search for Vidyasagar, who remains absconding.
