According to an official from the Madhapur police station, Nityananda decided to throw acid on her as she was no longer with him.
Nityananda has been arrested and sent for remand, added the official.
Rajyalaxmi is reportedly out of danger and has been shifted to a hospital for treatment soon after the incident.
A case under section 326 and 307 of the IPC has been registered against the Nityananda.
Jail inmate dies
A prisoner in Cherlapally jail who attempted suicide on Friday evening died two hours later after he succumbed to his injuries.
A. Deepak, the deceased, had been incarcerated nine months ago for a case he was booked under the Kushaiguda police station in 2013, said an official from the prison.
Deepak had used bedsheets to hang himself behind the barracks near the toilet at about 6 p.m., said the official.
On hearing a noise, other officials rushed to the spot and shifted him to the Gandhi hospital, where he died later.
“We don’t know why he tried to kill himself. Usually, people are kept under watch for a few weeks after they are jailed, as the environment changes.
But Deepak was fine and showed no signs that he was troubled,” said the official from the Cherlapally prison.
