HYDERABAD: A day after a middle-aged man and his two sons were hacked to death in Jagtial district, the local police said that a group of eight to nine men were involved in the triple murder.
The deceased were identified as Nageshwar Rao (55) and his two sons Jagannatham Ram Babu (35) and Jagannatham Ramesh (30).
Cops investigating the case suspect that it could be a case of conspiracy. Most of the suspects have said that it was Nageshwar Rao’s alleged habit of doing black magic that led to the murder. Police are yet to identify and arrest the accused.
Police said that a group of men belonging to the same caste as that of the victims killed the victims during a local Yerukala community meeting held at Tarakram Nagar in Jagtial district on Thursday afternoon.
The incident sparked mild tension in the village on Friday and a large number of policemen were deployed to facilitate the funeral procession of the victims.
