Tejeswar's family has alleged that his wife, Ishwarya, was involved in an extramarital affair and has accused her of conspiring to murder him. Police have detained Ishwarya and her mother, Sujatha, and are currently questioning them. A senior officer told the media that the investigation is ongoing but declined to confirm or deny the family's allegations.

According to Tejeswar's family, Ishwarya’s mother, Sujatha, is employed at a bank, and Ishwarya was allegedly in a relationship with a fellow bank employee. At the same time, she was also involved with Tejeswar, and the two agreed to marry. Their wedding, originally scheduled for February, had to be postponed after Ishwarya briefly went missing. She later returned, professed her love for Tejeswar, and the two were married, according to the NDTV report. 

Family members claimed they had warned Tejeswar against marrying Ishwarya, but he remained firm in his decision. They now suspect that Ishwarya and her mother plotted his murder.
