HYDERABAD: A 30-year-old man was hacked to death on the road in the temple town of Vemulawada on Friday by the family members of a married woman with whom he was having an affair.

“The woman’s husband works in Dubai. But she continued her affair with Ravi even after marriage and when her brothers came to know of the affair they had warned Ravi. The two, however, had been meeting secretly,” Rajanna Sircilla SP Rahul Hegde said.
On Friday afternoon, the woman’s brother and two others attacked Ravi near his house in Subramanya Nagar.
“Ravi was standing next to his two-wheeler when the three assailants, who came on a bike, attacked him with hunting sickles. He collapsed and died on the spot. The assailants then fled from the scene on their bike,” the SP said.
With the help of CCTV footage near the crime scene, police identified one of the offenders and have launched a manhunt.
“Our special teams are looking for the offenders. We will arrest them soon,” the SP said.
