A 20-year-old married woman and a 14-year-old boy allegedly killed a 15-year-old boy by poisoning in Kallur mandal of Khammam district fearing that their “relationship” would be exposed.

According to police, the victim, a Class X student, died while undergoing treatment at a Warangal hospital on Sunday (November 8, 2026), about two weeks after he was allegedly given a soft drink containing a digestive agent.

The woman – a resident of Bonakal mandal – who was living separately from her husband due to strained marital relations, was allegedly involved in a relationship with a minor boy who belonged to the same village as the victim.

The victim is said to have seen them together recently. The woman and the minor boy, fearing that their relationship might be discovered, gave him a soft drink with a herbal preparation about two weeks ago.

The Kallur police arrested the woman and produced her before the court, which sent her to judicial custody. The minor boy was sent to a juvenile home. Further investigation is underway.
