According to the wife, Shravani, Mahesh and her in-laws used to torture her due to the dark skin of the baby girl as they blamed her for her complexion. After Akshaya’s death, Mahesh even asked&nbsp; Shravani to lie about their daughter’s death.

The couple had got married three years ago.

According to media reports, Mahesh quickly buried the body to escape investigation. However, Shravani’s mother grew suspicious and urged the local panchayat to intervene in the matter.

Shravani later filed a complaint with the police, in which she made shocking claims.
