Vijayawada: Seven arrested for killing of businessman, 7 more on run

VIJAYAWADA: Police commissioner B Sreenivasulu on Friday announced that they have arrested all seven persons involved in the alleged murder of businessman Karanam Rahul. The deceased’s financial dispute with the two main accused — investor Korada Vijay Kumar and industrialist Koganti Satyam — led to the murder, he said.

Other accused in the case include Sri Krishna Mess owner and Vijay Kumar’s friend Kilari Anatha Satyanarayana, collection agent with Korada chit funds Shaik Mohammad Jani, Vijay Kumar’s driver Katarapu Koteswara Rao, another driver Katarapu Gandhi Babu, and SVS Tours and Travels employee Nalluri Ravi Kanth.

Rahul was strangulated and killed by Koteswara Rao and Gandhi Babu using a mobile charging cable on August 18. Cops said seven more accused were involved in the murder and would be arrested soon.
