Vaishnavi, the pre-teen who was kidnapped in broad daylight in Vijayawada on Saturday, was found murdered today.
She and her brother were in a car being driven by their driver, when assailants stopped the car and stabbed the driver, killing him. They drove off with the kid, and her brother ran away scared. Her body was found in a shed today, and her death has plunged the family into sorrow.
Police were unable to trace the kidnappers, but 60 hours after her kidnapping, her body was found in Auto Nagar in Guntur.
Vaishnavi, the daughter of a liquor baron, Prabhakar was kidnapped earlier as well, around 4 years ago. Her father had, on Saturday, denied enmity with anyone, at least of this extent. On news of the death, he suffered a heart stroke.
Politicians including Chandrababu Naidu and Chiranjeevi have expressed their condolences. Chiranjeevi went on to say that this incident is an example of the breakdown of law and order in the state.
