Satyam employee strangled to death

HYDERABAD: A Mahindra Satyam employee was brutally murdered and his body, stuffed in a sack, was found near the municipal ward office at Karwan

on Tuesday.


S Chandrasekhar, 24, was an executive with Mahindra Satyam in Hi-Tec City. A native of Mahbubabad in Warangal district, Chandrasekhar had married Anusha last year. The couple had been staying at Bhagawandas Bagh in Tallagadda near Mehdipatnam.

According to his wife, on Monday at about 10.30 pm, when they were having dinner at their home, two persons came visiting. Chandrasekhar introduced the duo as his friends to Anusha. After finishing dinner, he told her that he was going to Basara with his friends and would return on Tuesday, police said. The reasons for his sudden plan to visit Basara is not known.

Since then, there had been no communication from Chandrasekhar. On Tuesday at about 10 am, Anusha, a homemaker, noticed a flash on a news channel about an unidentified body. After seeing the flash, she became apprehensive and tried to call on Chandrasekhar’s mobile phone, but it was switched off. Finally, at 1.30 pm she went to the Tapachabutra police station complaining that her husband was missing. Police showed her the photographs of the body and she identified it as her husband’s.

Tapachabutra in-charge inspector N Chandrasekhar said the executive’s face bore several bruises and was found strangled with a wire. Locals noticed blood stains on the sack and alerted police at about 7 am on Tuesday. Anusha told police that she had seen these ‘friends’ of her husband for the first time. Chandrasekhar’s phone remained switched off and police said that the last call on the phone landed at 9.30 pm on Monday, an hour before he left home. Police are verifying all call details. A case was registered under section 302 (murder) of IPC.

Sources said that what had intrigued the cops was the fact the phone was switched off even before Chandrashekhar had left his home. Though the cops are not saying so openly, it is understood that they found the wife’s account a little garbled and even she is in the zone of suspicion.
