The victim, B Nagaraju, is a 26-year-old man of the Mala community, categorised as a Scheduled Caste.

Nagaraju’s wife, Syed Ashrin Sulthana, said the two had been in a relationship for a long time. Nagaraju even approached her family expressing his intention to marry her but they declined the proposal.

“He even told my mother that he will convert to Islam, but still they never accepted the proposal,” Ashrin said.

As Ashrin’s parents did not agree to their proposal, the couple got married on January 31 this year in an Arya Samaj ceremony in Hyderabad.

While the police say that two men were behind the attack, Syed Ashrin Sulthana, the victim’s wife, said that five men were involved in the attack.
