Autopsy finds 22-year-old Choudeswari murdered, her father in custody
India
A 22-year-old woman named Choudeswari was found dead in Andhra Pradesh's Palnadu district last month.
While it first looked like suicide, a new autopsy report has revealed she was actually murdered, allegedly by her own father.
Police have now taken him into custody and are investigating.
Married Nagaraju against family's wishes
Choudeswari had married Nagaraju against her family's wishes, sparking major tension at home.
Even after telling police she chose the marriage herself and wanted to be with Nagaraju, she was sent back to her parents' house.
That night, her father allegedly strangled her while she slept and tried to make it look like suicide.
He has been taken into custody, and police are still investigating what happened.
