Disappearance and aftermath

Vaishnavi was kidnapped on 30 January 2010,[1] and murdered by her kidnappers on 2 February. That incident caused tremendous shock for her father, resulting in cardiac arrest and death.[2][3] She had previously been kidnapped in 2005. Her murder caused widespread outrage throughout Andhra Pradesh.[4]

Her older brother, Sai Tejesh, escaped from the truck when Vaishnavi was kidnapped. Her father had sought justice for his daughter's murder,[5] and has now died due to a heart attack.

A Vijayawada Women Sessions Court in June 2018 sentenced the three accused kidnappers to life imprisonment.[6]

Both of Naga's parents died before the accused were sentenced.[6]
