Telangana Woman Allegedly Beheaded by In-Laws Over Land DisputePreviousNext

A 26- to 28-year-old woman named Katrawath Sunitha was allegedly beheaded by her in-laws in Telangana's Mahabubnagar district over a dispute involving 1.5 acres of agricultural land transferred to her name. The attack occurred when she visited the land, and the accused fled the scene. Police have registered murder cases against five relatives, including her father-in-law and brothers-in-law, and are investigating. The dispute followed a settlement aimed at securing Sunitha and her children's future due to her husband's mental health issues.
