It is learnt that Salluri Anjali (21) of Mamidigattu used to go to her grandmother's house in Mannegudam where she came in contact with Perugu Maheshwari alias Mahesh of the same village. Anjali was staying with Maheshwari, her sister Parameshwari and brother Vignesh after renting a room in Mancherial less than two years ago.
Anjali worked at a local shop while Maheshwari used to work at a petrol station, which she recently quit. Maheshwari is the fourth daughter of Mannegudam's VRA Mondi. Over the past 10 years, her dress and behaviour have become more boyish. Locals say that Maheshwari and Anjali were living together in a suspected lesbian relationship.
It is said that Maheshwari had met Srinivas recently, who was running a consultancy in Mancherial. Later, he came in contact with her younger sister, brother and Anjali. For two months, Anjali became closer to Srinivas and started avoiding Maheshwari. It is suspected that Maheshwari nursed a grudge against Anjali for keeping aloof from her and killed her. On the day of the alleged murder, at 10 o'clock Maheshwari left with Anjali on a two-wheeler on the pretext of visiting Mamidigattu.
