Cropses of Mohammed Maqsood Alam and four members of family were recovered from the well at Gorrekunta village near Warangal town on Thursday. The next day bodies of two more family members of Maqsood and two men from Bihar and one from Tripura were also recovered from the same place.

Sanjay Kumar, who also worked at the same gunny bag unit, allegedly was in a relationship with Bushra, who had left her husband and was staying with her parents.

The main accused had grudge against Maqsood's family as the relationship was stopped recently. Since two Bihari youth and another man from Tripura had moved closely to Maqsood's family, he planned to murder all with the help of two friends from Bihar and a local youth, who also had some grudge against the same family.

They made a plan and executed it when Maqsood gave a party at his house on the day of his son's birthday. They served soft drinks spiked with sedatives to the victims and then dumped the bodies in the well.
