Nagamani, 27, was riding her bike when her husband called to check on her. Although they had known each other for 10 years, having studied in the same high school, the two had been married for just three weeks.
“The call lasted 25 seconds,” her husband, Bandari Srikkanth recalled. “For the first 10 seconds, she spoke normally but suddenly she said ‘My brother has come to kill me’ and then the call got cut.”
