Telangana woman stabbed to death by lover, body stuffed in gunny bag
Police said the 23-year-old victim had been insisting on marriage, and the accused remains absconding as investigators probe his mother’s alleged role.
On Monday, August 17, 2026, 21-year-old Rehena was allegedly stabbed to death by her lover, Shaik Ahemad, at his house in Shaheen Nagar following a dispute over marriage.
Rehena, a waiter from Patna, Bihar, had been in a relationship with Ahemad for about a year and had resided at his home for two months before the 4 a.m. argument on Monday.
Police were alerted via a dial 100 call at 5:30 a.m. and discovered the body; Ahemad allegedly "tied both hands and legs of the deceased woman and put the body in a gunny bag to dispose of it," according to preliminary investigation.
A murder case has been registered by the Balapur Police Station as authorities investigate the role of Ahemad's mother, Ayesha, in allegedly helping hide the body, while Ahemad remains absconding.
Officials are awaiting post-mortem results to determine if the victim was pregnant, with police continuing investigation after notifying the victim's family in Bihar.
