The incident was reported at Yendagandi village in Undi mandal of West Godavari district. The parcel also contained a letter demanding the woman, identified as Naga Tulasi, pay ₹1.3 crore. She immediately alerted the police, who rushed to the spot and collected clues from the scene. The body was sent to Bhimavaram Government General Hospital for postmortem.

Elaborating on the case, West Godavari Superintendent of Police (SP) Adnan Nayeem Asmi told TNIE that Tulasi had sought financial aid from Kshatriya Seva Samithi for constructing her house. In response, the organisation had sent her two consignments containing tiles and paint a few months ago.

When she asked for more help, representatives of the Samithi reportedly promised to send her electrical appliances, including lights, fans, and switchboards. They had confirmed the same through a WhatsApp message.

Breathe, heal, and reconnect

HERE'S something about stepping into a forest that instantly feels like a breath of fresh air — literally and figuratively. The scent of the moist soil, the rustling of leaves, the distant call of birds — it's as if nature is wrapping you in a quiet embrace, urging you to slow down. This is the essence of forest therapy, or shinrin-yoku, a practice that goes beyond just taking a walk in the woods.
