Boyfriend murders techie, travels with body in suitcase
Hyderabad, Apr 14: A 25-year old woman engineer, who went missing a week ago, has been killed by her lover and her body stuffed in a suitcase dumped into a drain near here, police said Sunday.
The decomposed body was found Saturday based on the information given by Sunil, who has been arrested and a case registered for murder and causing disappearance of evidence under the the Indian Penal Code, they said.
Sunil, also an engineer, and the woman were classmates in college and in love since 2017. He allegedly killed her as she constantly pestered him to marry her, police said.
After making the woman's parents believe that the two were going to board a flight to Muscat for her job interview, he took her to a lodge from the airport here on April 4.
He allegedly killed the woman the next day, packed the body in a suitcase, travelled with it by a city bus and then a cab before dumping it into a drain at Medchal locality, police said.
As the woman did not return on April 7 as informed by her, the family lodged a complaint and police cracked the case by tracing her phone call records.

Min. Priyank Kharge to expresses concern over implementation of VB-G Ram G
Bengaluru: Rural Development and Panchayati Raj Minister Priyank Kharge has expressed concern over the uncertainty surrounding the implementation of the proposed VB-G Ram G scheme, stating that the MNREGA programme, which has been a lifeline for rural India for nearly two decades, appears to be facing an uncertain future.
Speaking to media, Kharge said that as March 31 draws to a close, there is no clarity on the rollout of the new scheme from April 1. He pointed out that the central government has not yet issued the necessary guidelines for implementing the scheme for rural workers and villages.
He criticised the Centre for its lack of preparedness, stating that there is no clarity on fund allocation, no final parameters for classifying gram panchayats, and key processes such as social audits have not been defined.
Kharge said the situation comes at a critical time, as summer marks a peak period for rural employment demand, when many people depend heavily on wage employment for their livelihood.
He added that reports have emerged of delays in approvals and families not receiving work despite demand.
He further alleged that the Centre’s move to shift from a statutory employment guarantee to a rule-based allocation system is already showing negative consequences.
Kharge also raised concerns over provisions such as a mandatory 60-day halt during agricultural seasons, which he said would further limit employment opportunities for rural workers.
The BJP-led central government had claimed that the new scheme would transform rural India, but in reality it is turning out to be detrimental to people’s livelihoods, he said.
“The crisis in rural India due to the stalling of MNREGA is beginning to unfold. Given the Centre’s past record in handling such situations, there is growing concern over the impact on rural livelihoods,” Kharge said.
