'Make It Look Like An Accident': How A Telangana Hospital Worker Uncovered Wife's Plot To Murder Him With Her Lover

To his neighbours in Chilkodu village, Gade Rajeshwar Rao was simply a hard-working private hospital employee navigating a quiet life with his wife, Bhavani, and their two young daughters. Yet behind closed doors, a deadly conspiracy was brewing—one that unspooled not through a sudden burst of violence, but across a series of chilling text messages hidden on a smartphone screen.

Rao only managed to save his own life after a quiet, frantic scroll through his wife’s chat history exposed an elaborate plot to execute him and stage his death as a road mishap.

Caught Red-Handed: A Surprise Visit Unravels The Affair

Suspicions had been mounting for months as Rao noticed a distinct shift in his wife’s behaviour. Unbeknownst to him, Bhavani had formed an extramarital relationship with Saidulu, a local courier delivery agent who frequented their neighbourhood. Using parcel deliveries as a front, Saidulu regularly visited the house while Rao was away working shifts at the hospital.

The fragile illusion collapsed on 27 July when Rao returned home unexpectedly for lunch, catching Bhavani and Saidulu together.

Hoping to resolve the conflict without involving law enforcement, family members convened a traditional village panchayat the following day. Far from defusing the situation, however, the public confrontation only accelerated the danger.

A High-Speed Chase And A Fateful Phone Search

On 28 July, while riding his motorcycle to a neighbouring village to collect his elder brother, Rao spotted Saidulu tailing him in his rear-view mirror. Fearing an immediate attack, Rao revved his engine, managed to throw off his pursuer, and raced straight back home.

Driven by sheer survival instinct, Rao waited for a moment when Bhavani was distracted and seized her mobile phone. opening WhatsApp and Instagram, he discovered an extensive archive of voice notes and messages detailing a meticulous blueprint for his murder.

The Digital Blueprint: 'Do Not Kill Him Inside The House'

The screenshots handed over to investigators reveal a calculated plan aimed at bypassing forensic scrutiny. Bhavani was far from a passive partner in the affair; chat logs indicate she was actively driving the plot and pressuring a hesitant Saidulu to act.

"Kill my husband in an accident, or I will kill myself. Do not do it inside the house—suspicion will fall on me. It must look like a road accident."— Excerpt from Bhavani's alleged messages to Saidulu

When Saidulu balked at taking a human life, Bhavani’s texts turned into outright ultimatums, warning him that if he failed to execute the plan, she would find a way to eliminate her husband herself. The messages outlined a clear endgame: removing Rao from the picture so the pair could seize his assets and start a life together.

Police Launch Manhunt As Suspects Go On The Run

Carrying dozens of damning screenshots, a terrified Rao rushed to the Dornakal Police Station on 1 August to demand protection for himself and his two young daughters. Recognizing the imminent danger, officers registered a Zero FIR before transferring the case file to the Khammam Rural Police Station for a formal investigation.

The moment news of the police complaint broke, both Bhavani and Saidulu vanished from the area.

"We are treating the digital evidence with extreme priority," confirmed Khammam Rural Inspector M. Raju. "The chat records are currently undergoing cyber-forensic examination to verify their authenticity. Special teams have been deployed across the district to track down and apprehend both suspects."

Rao and his daughters remain under police protection as law enforcement agencies intensify search operations across Telangana to locate the fleeing duo.
