Two Telangana Students Arrested for Murder of School Principal Over Theft
Two 16-year-old Class 10 students in Telangana's Nalgonda district were arrested for the murder of their school principal, Kallu Roopa Reddy, who was found stabbed 27 times at her home on August 11. Police investigations, aided by CCTV footage and forensic evidence including blood-stained cash, revealed the students planned the attack to steal money after being reprimanded for their spending habits. A key lead came from the principal's last phone call, where she used the word "babu," commonly addressing students, which helped focus the probe on them.
