Overview
- Police say the realtor shot his second wife during an argument at their Maruthi Nagar home, firing three rounds that killed her on the spot, and her body was taken to Gandhi Hospital for post‑mortem.
- A manhunt that began after the June 10 killing led to the arrest of D Arun Kumar near Moula Ali Railway Station the next day and the seizure of a country‑made pistol, live ammunition, knives and other material.
- Officers recovered three spent cartridges at the scene and have registered a murder case while questioning witnesses including the accused’s mother who heard the gunshots.
- Arun had been arrested in March in an unrelated arms case when police seized a country‑made pistol allegedly procured from Munger, Bihar, and investigators say the earlier charge sheet was not filed because suspected suppliers remained at large.
- Detectives are probing whether a second person was present during the killing, tracing weapon supply chains in Hyderabad’s Old City, and preparing evidence for charges under criminal and arms laws.
