Their concerns were intensified when the deceased’s fellow hostel mates found her door locked on the fateful day and were horrified to see her lifeless body as they broke it open.
The couple was living together and Mohammed Ali had converted her to Islam as well as given her a new name, Azia Fatima after impregnating her. However, he married another woman belonging to his religion.
Adithi Bharadwaj was allegedly previously married, but she divorced her husband and was going to marry Mohammed Ali on 12th February in Hyderabad. However, he cheated on her before the wedding and she could not bear this deception and gradually went into depression.
Moreover, she recently visited the hospital voicing concerns over her health where she learned that she was expecting a child and had been worrying about it. She was shocked and called Mohammed Ali to inform him of the news but nothing came out of it after which she ended her life.
The body has been moved to the postmortem facility at Osmania General Hospital. “We are working to gather technical evidence to arrest the accused. The investigation is in progress,” proclaimed an official aware of the developments.
