The next day, Ravi Naik told her that she would be taken to a hospital, but he took her to an isolated place and hanged her. He told relatives that she had died while being treated.
Suspecting foul play, relatives lodged a complaint with the police at Vikarabad. The police shifted the case to Sadashivapet where the incident took place.
Police arrested Ravi on Friday and he admitted to committing the crime. He told the police that he had spent about ₹ 20,000 for her treatment and had to perform her marriage in the next few years. As he had felt that he could not meet all the expenses, he hanged her, he reportedly told the police.
