Raghavender Raju, the accused in Excise Minister V Srinivas Goud’s assassination plot confessed to have hatched the plan to eliminate the former as he targeted him both personally and financially for the past decade.
“Srinivas Goud is responsible for my current divested financial situation. He tormented me and my family and caused legal and financial problems to curtail my political and financial growth,” Raju reportedly told Pet Basheerabad police.
Raju alleged that the Minister caused huge financial losses to the liquor and restaurant business in Mahabubnagar town and in 2017 at least 10 criminal cases, including SC and ST Atrocities Act, were registered against him.
