The complainant stated that her father owned a flat in an apartment complex in Santosh Nagar. She added that they had come to know that the electrician had an "affair" with the wife of the security guard at the complex.

After the security guard and his wife left for their native place, the electrician came to their house and asked her father to call the woman back to Hyderabad, as he assumed her father had hidden her somewhere, the complainant said.

She further stated that the electrician had asked her father to arrange for bail if he were to murder the watchman. In response, her father told him that he was an advocate, not a broker.

Since then, the electrician frequently argued with her father and held a grudge against him. On Monday, he killed him, she said.

The accused is absconding, police added.
