VISAKHAPATNAM: Srikakulam police arrested six persons in connection with the murder of a retired army man on Monday.

The deceased, identified as Ch Malleswara Rao (46), retired from service in 2012 and used to run a Mee-Seva centre at Venkatapuram village under Etcherla mandal in the district. He also used to help his brother-in-law Appala Naidu in his real estate business. Rao was found strangled to death in a park in Srikakulam town on July 25.

Police said he had developed some dispute with Naidu, who hired professional killers and paid an advance of 4 lakh, promising to pay the remaining 2 lakh after Rao’s death. The accused were caught when Naidu was paying the remaining balance.
