Ambati Raghupati was murdered on July 15. Based on a complaint from his wife Ambati Swarna, a case was registered by the Jawahar Nagar police. The complainant said that Raghupati was killed by his old enemies Srikanth Reddy and Manjunadh near Shiva Nagar of Dammaiguda.
She named Srikanth Reddy, whose father was allegedly killed by the victim, as the main accused. According to reports, Srikanth along with his father's close associate Manjunadh, gave a supari of Rs 30 lakhs to a contract killer, Rizwan, who planned the murder.
