A tragic incident has come to light from Nalgonda district in Telangana, where 50-year-old school principal Kallu Rupa Reddy was brutally murdered inside her residence in Kondamallepally mandal. According to authorities, two Class 10 minor students allegedly broke into her home with the intention of committing theft and stabbed her 27 times with a knife. Police have taken both 16-year-old students into custody in connection with the crime.
Discovery of the Crime and Initial Investigation
The gruesome attack took place on August 11. At the time of the incident, 50-year-old Kallu Rupa Reddy was alone at her house, as her husband had travelled to Hyderabad for work. Concerns arose when her husband attempted to reach her over the phone multiple times from Hyderabad without getting any response. Sensing something was wrong, he alerted their neighbours and requested them to check on his wife.
Upon inspecting the house, neighbours discovered the situation and immediately contacted the local police. A police team arrived at the scene on the morning of August 12 and recovered the victim's body from her home in Kondamallepally mandal. Investigators immediately cordoned off the area and began collecting forensic evidence from the crime scene.

During interrogation, both minors confessed to having stabbed Kallu Rupa Reddy to death.
