The mysterious death of a young software engineer in Hyderabad has shocked people in Peerzadiguda, Medchal district. The incident, which happened late at night, has left police searching for answers after a series of unusual events ended in tragedy.
Tejaswini, was living with her mother in a rented house in Peerzadiguda. According to police, CCTV footage showed her running naked towards a nearby Ammavaru temple during the night. Investigators say she entered the temple, removed the idol of the goddess along with the saree covering it, and left the premises.
When locals noticed that the idol was missing, they began searching the surrounding area. Their attention soon turned to a nearby pond. At the pond, they found the saree floating near the steps. A short time later, Tejaswini’s body was recovered from the water. However, the idol has still not been found.
Police shifted the body to Gandhi Hospital for a postmortem examination. Disaster Response Force teams have also joined the search operation in the pond to recover the missing idol, which investigators believe could help them understand what happened.
During the investigation, police gathered details about Tejaswini’s background. She was a software engineer who had worked in Bengaluru before returning to Hyderabad around six months ago. Her family belongs to Devupalli village in Andhra Pradesh’s Vizianagaram district. Her father is employed at the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant. She and her mother had recently moved into a rented house in Peerzadiguda.
Police also spoke to her family members. According to her mother, Tejaswini had been facing severe psychological distress for the past six months. She was reportedly troubled by repeated nightmares and disturbing dreams, which had become more frequent in recent months.
Investigators are now trying to determine whether her mental condition played a role in the incident or if there were any other factors involved. Officials are examining CCTV footage, speaking to witnesses and waiting for the postmortem report before reaching any conclusions.
A suspicious death case has been registered, and the investigation is continuing. Police have urged the public not to speculate until all facts are established.
