Telangana Murder Case: In a chilling case that has shocked Telangana, a 25-year-old nurse has been arrested for allegedly murdering her parents after they opposed her inter-caste marriage. Police said the accused administered a lethal dose of a drug, sourced from the hospital where she worked under the guise of a “relaxing injection” at their home in Vikarabad district, leading to the deaths of both parents.
Vikarabad police said they were alerted on January 25 about the deaths of a couple, N. Dasaratham (58) and his wife Lakshmi (54), at their home in Yacharam village. Relatives initially told authorities that Dasaratham had died by suicide after allegedly consuming poison, while Lakshmi reportedly died soon after due to shock.
However, police began to suspect foul play after discovering a blood-stained syringe at the scene. The deaths were then classified as suspicious, an FIR was registered, and the bodies were sent for post-mortem examination.
As part of the probe, police questioned the couple’s son and their three daughters. Investigators said inconsistencies in the statement of the youngest daughter, Surekha, triggered suspicion and led to further questioning. During sustained interrogation, Surekha allegedly confessed to murdering her parents on the night of January 24.
Police said she had taken leave from work that day and travelled to her parents’ home in Vikarabad district, where, after dinner, she reportedly injected them with a lethal dose of a drug under the guise of giving medication to help them relax.
Police said Surekha was employed at a private hospital in Sangareddy district, from where she allegedly took a muscle-relaxant drug without the knowledge of hospital authorities. The medication is routinely used during surgical procedures, and officials said an overdose can prove fatal.
Investigators later traced the serial number of the recovered drug to a batch issued to the same hospital where the accused worked. The accused has been arrested and remanded to judicial custody.
