According to preliminary investigation, Bhaskar, who worked as a chef at a hotel in the Ayyappa Society area of Madhapur, had been in a relationship with a woman from the same village.
“However, her family opposed the relationship because they belonged to different castes and married her off to another man about three years ago. However, Bhaskar continued to stalk her even after she got married and that led to the disputes between her and her husband leading to a divorce,” the police official said.
The woman’s father allegedly suspected that Bhaskar was responsible for the breakdown of her marriage and had threatened to take revenge against him.
