Kurnool (Andhra Pradesh): A youth stored nude videos of his girlfriend in his cell phone and all hell broke loose after those videos fell into the hands of his friend who went on to harass the girl till she allegedly attempted suicide which eventually led to a murder. The spine chilling incident took place at Balajinagar in Kurnool mandal of Andhra Pradesh.
According to the police, Erukali Dinesh, a resident of Balajinagar in Kurnool mandal, was studying a degree course. He had a close friend named Mallepogu Muralikrishna (22), a flower decorator. Dinesh kept the nude videos of the girl he loved on his phone. Muralikrishna happened to see those videos and downloaded them to his phone.
Later, Muralikrishna called the girl and started harassing her in the name of those nude videos. He used to threaten her to send the videos to her family members and relatives. The girl pleaded with him but the harassment continued. Unable to bear further harassment, the young woman recently tried to commit suicide and was admitted to a hospital.
After seeing the girl's suffering, Dinesh started nursing a grudge against Muralikrishna and decided to kill him. He shared the murder plan with another friend named Kiran Kumar. On January 25, Dinesh and Kiran Kumar took Muralikrishna, who was wearing a Shiva mala, on a bike to the Panchalingala area on the outskirts of the city. They stabbed Muralikrishna to death there.
