In the subsequent police raids, the team detained the accused Suleman, and his friends Ahmed and Parezhan for questioning in the case. A police official said that the brother of Kadir's 2nd wife carried out the murder under a well planned conspiracy to eliminate the victim to “save” the marriage of his sister with Kadir.
Kadir Ahmed, a resident of Shivajinagar in Madanapalle town, who works as a duty operator at the Vempalle electricity sub-station, got married to Ruksana from BKpalle in Madanapalle less than six years ago. It is learnt that after three years of marriage, she did not have any children, so with her permission, Kadir Ahmed married Ayesha from Apparaotota in Madanapalle town for the second time.
About 18 months ago, the first wife Ruksana gave birth to a baby girl after which Kadir had been staying her her to take care of the mother and child which however triggered a dispute between Rukhsana and Ayesha. It is said that Ayesha went to Ruksana's house with her family members and argued that her husband was not coming to her because of Ruksana and that he had married her without telling her about the first wife.
Ayesha also complained to the police against her husband, Ruksana, and their family members who she said cheated on her and married her while she was still with his first wife. A case is going on in the court. The family of Rukhsana alleged that the family members of Ayesha including her brother had been going to the college where Ruksana works and conducting a recce as part of their nefarious designs.
