Wife's Betrayal: Murder Plot Uncovered in Kakinada

Police in Kakinada have solved the suspicious death of Pulla Durga Prasad, a 38-year-old car driver, determining it to be a meticulously planned murder.

Initially presumed to have died of natural causes, the investigation revealed that Prasad's wife, Pulla Devi, and her alleged lover, Prasadam Gopi Sai, conspired to kill him. The motive stemmed from their extramarital affair, which Prasad's presence obstructed.

On March 12, 2026, Gopi Sai reportedly obtained ALPRAX 0.5 mg tablets and gave them to Devi. The following day, Devi administered the drugs to her husband disguised in muskmelon juice. After he became unconscious, she allegedly suffocated him with a pillow.

The couple then informed relatives of Prasad's death, attributing it to a heart attack, and proceeded with the cremation. The conspiracy came to light when Gopi Sai sent incriminating WhatsApp messages, including tablet purchase bills and a prescription, to the deceased's daughter on May 31, 2026.

Following a complaint from the victim's elder brother on June 9, 2026, and based on substantial evidence including confessions and digital proof, a case was registered and later altered under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Both accused were arrested on June 11, 2026, and essential evidence was seized, including the pillow, medication, and digital records. They have been presented in court and remanded for further investigation.
