History

Historical Context

The 2010 abduction of Vaishnavi in Hyderabad, orchestrated by Morla Srinivas Rao, Jagadeesh and Venkata Rao, ended with her murder and disposal of her body in an industrial furnace. An eight-year investigation relied on eyewitnesses, call logs and her earrings as key evidence, leading to life-imprisonment sentences upheld by the Hyderabad High Court.
