The police claims to have arrested 4 accomplices of Bhanu Kiran, the main accused in the murder of Maddelacheruvu Suri.
City police on Saturday claimed to have arrested 4 accomplices of Mallishetty Bhanu Kiran, the prime accused in the sensational murder case of Suryanarayana Reddy, also known as Maddelacheruvu Suri. Suri was the prime accused in the murder of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) MLA Paritala Ravindra.
Speaking to media persons, Hyderabad Police Commissioner A K Khan revealed that the police had taken into custody 4 persons who were believed to be accomplices of Bhanu Kiran. Khan identified the 4 accused as Manmohan Singh Bhadauria, Sulam Subbaiah, Boya Venkata Hari Babu and Avula Venkata Ramana.
The police chief further stated that the accused revealed to the police during interrogation that the reason behind Suri's murder might be property disputes, 'benami' lands acquired in the name of accused Bhanu Kiran and other personal differences regarding superiority. The accused also said that there might be other reasons unknown to them.
The police chief further said that the accused, during their interrogation, told the police that Suri and Bhanu used to call people to Alekya Apartment and Vasanth Vihar Apartment in Cyberabad to settle property disputes, illegal money transactions etc.
The accused also told the police that Bhanu Kiran and his associates had acquired various properties, mostly in the limits of Cyberabad and Rangareddy districts.
Khan said that the police investigations had revealed that Bhanu Kiran and his associates fled from Hyderabad after killing Suri and went to Sholapur, Pune, Gwalior, Gurgaon and Itawa. They stayed at each place for a few days, and kept shifting their residences to avoid the police net.
The 4 were caught after Manmohan Singh Bhadauria came to Hyderabad to get financial help from the followers of Bhanu Kiran, as the accused were running short of money.
The police chief also said that one 9 MM pistol, 7 live rounds, 1 extra magazine, 5 cell phones, 11 SIM cards, 1 ATM card, 5 debit/credit cards, two-wheelers and Rs. 25,000 in cash were recovered from the arrested persons.
