Visakhapatnam:A 27-year-old software engineer K. Madhuri of Narsipatnam in Anakapalli district died of poisoning in a private hospital in Visakhapatnam on Monday morning. Her mother Ammaji earlier lodged a complaint that her boyfriend might have fed her poison to avoid marriage. The Narsipatnam police registered a case under Section 306 of IPC and are investigating.
Reports said Madhuri and Vasireddy Chandrasekhar of Natavaram also under Anakapalli were known to each other for the last six years as they were both soft engineers and worked together in Hyderabad. However, both were working from home for some time.
