A 20-year-old girl, P. Rajeshwari on Friday was brutally murdered at her residence in Nagal Konda village of Adilabad district.
The deceased father has lodged a complaint with the police, stating that the girl committed suicide.
Prima facie reveals that she was murdered and it was not a suicide.
"We are suspecting that her father might have killed her for eloping with a boy from another religion two months ago, at that time the family brought her back after counselling and her father was upset. A case has been registered and further investigation is on", said SP Adilabad, Uday Kumar Reddy.
Further investigation is underway.
