Vishu’s mother, Lakshmi, told police that her son had been in a relationship for about a year with a woman named Pooja, who was married and had children. Pooja had left her husband to live with Vishu, but three months ago, she returned to her parental home in Naganapalli village.

A video of the assault later surfaced on social media, showing Vishu tied up and being beaten while pleading for help.
