The Gopalpuram police and Commissioner’s Task Force (North) have arrested three persons, including a retired police officer, who were allegedly planning to kill a realtor. The police seized a country-made pistol, sickles and cash from the accused.
According to commissioner of police C.V. Anand, Dasari Bhoomaiah (62) a retired circle inspector from Karimnagar, was the mastermind. He hatched a conspiracy to eliminate realtor Vijaypal Reddy, struck a deal of ₹20 lakh with hired killers and paid an advance of ₹5 lakh.
As for the motive, Mr. Anand said that Bhoomaiah was caught by the Anti-Corruption Bureau in a disproportionate assets case in 2018, reportedly after a tip-off by Vijaypal Reddy. He was sent to prison in the case and was released later.
