The woman had recently informed Satish that she no longer wished to continue the relationship, as her family was searching for a groom.
A 28-year-old man was allegedly beaten to death in Telangana for declaring love for a woman from his village in an Instagram post.
According to the police, the victim, identified as Edurugatla Satish, was beaten to death in Jagtial district after posting a message on Instagram. Satish, a driver from Rechapalli village in Sarangapur mandal, had earlier been in a relationship with the woman.
Here's what happened:
The woman had recently informed Satish that she no longer wished to continue the relationship, as her family was searching for a groom.
Upset over this development, Satish reportedly posted a message on Instagram declaring his love for her and warning that no one should marry her.
The post allegedly angered the woman’s family members, who confronted Satish at his residence at around 7 pm on Saturday.
“In the ensuing altercation, they attacked him with sticks, leading to his death on the spot,” a police official said.
