A female Chartered Accountant (CA) was found dead in suspicious circumstances at a residential flat in Vijayawada's Machavaram of Andhra Pradesh on Saturday, August 21. The parents of the deceased have raised suspicion over her death, alleging that their daughter's partner killed her. Meanwhile, the Vijayawada police have registered a case of unnatural death under section 174 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) and started the investigation.

The deceased has been identified as 29-year-old Cherukuri Sindhu. Her body has been shifted to the Government General Hospital (GGH) in Vijayawada for the postmortem. Speaking to TNM, Inspector Machavaram M Prabhakar said, "We are awaiting a medical opinion currently.
