Hyderabad: The tragic death of T News anchor Swetcha has taken a serious turn, with one name repeatedly emerging in connection with the case – Poornachandra Rao. According to reports, Swetcha had been in a live-in relationship with him for the past five years, though the two were never officially married.
Speaking to the media, Swetcha’s father recently revealed that differences had cropped up between the couple. He claimed that Swetcha had expressed her desire to separate from Poornachandra Rao and had confided in her family about her decision. Based on these revelations, her parents have filed a formal complaint with the police, casting suspicion on Poornachandra Rao in connection with their daughter’s untimely demise.
Since the news of Swetcha’s death broke, Poornachandra Rao has reportedly gone incommunicado. His phone remains switched off, and efforts are underway by the police to trace his whereabouts. Authorities have seized Swetcha’s phone and are currently analyzing it for digital evidence that may shed light on the events leading up to her death.
Sources indicate that Poornachandra Rao previously worked as a Program Executive at T News, the same channel where Swetcha was employed. It is being widely discussed in media circles that he secured this position through the recommendation of BRS senior leader Santhosh Rao, to whom he is believed to be closely connected. He has also been seen actively participating in BRS party events, further fueling speculation about his political links.
There are unconfirmed reports that Poornachandra Rao had a previous marriage. Swetcha herself had separated from her husband several years ago due to personal differences. Those close to her allege that she was unable to cope with the emotional and personal betrayal caused by Poornachandra Rao.
Photos of Poornachandra Rao with prominent BRS leaders have surfaced on social media and are rapidly going viral, adding another layer of intrigue to the case. Investigators believe that significant breakthroughs in the case are likely to emerge once Poornachandra Rao is apprehended and questioned.
Meanwhile, the post-mortem report is expected to play a crucial role in determining the exact cause of Swetcha’s death, which remains under intense public and media scrutiny.
