A key development has taken place in the case of the suspicious death of Tejaswini, a B. Pharmacy student from Gorantla in Sri Sathya Sai district who has been the subject of debate across the state. The district SP Rahul Dev Singh has said that a rape case has been registered against Tejaswini's boyfriend Sadiq. Also, it was announced that the case has been transferred to Disha DSP Srinivasan.

It is learned that Tejaswini, a B.Pharmacy student, was found hanged on the 4th of this month in a shed belonging to her boyfriend Sadiq near Mallapally in Gorantla mandal.

According to DSP, on the 4th of this month, Sadiq phoned Tejaswini and told her that he had come home. In the process, she was taken to a petal shed on the farm. The two talked for two hours and Sadiq had left her in the shed to bring lunch as it was night. However, when Sadiq went to the shed on the farm again from home, he explained that the young woman was seen hanging. Sadiq allegedly went straight to the police station and told them about the incident.

DSP Ramakant said the young woman was found to have been hanged to death during the first post-mortem conducted on the order. However, the parents of the deceased said that they suspected mass rape and murder.
