‘It was a handiwork of the members of Janasakthi’
The Guntur Rural police have claimed to have unravelled the mystery behind the murder of Telugu Desam Party leader in Gurazala constituency, Puramsetti Ankulu, 64, and arrested six sympathisers of Janasakthi organisation. The incident that took place on January 3 caused a flutter across the constituency with former TDP MLA Yerapathaneni Srinivasa Rao alleging that the murder was planned by Gurazala MLA Kasu Mahesh Reddy.
Superintendent of Police, Guntur Rural, Vishal Gunni, said that the murder was planned and executed by the sympathisers of Janasakthi organisation due to personal grudges against the deceased. The SP said that the accused were arrested following a thorough investigation and denied any political involvement in the murder.
