What was believed to be a hit-and-run case has turned out to be a cold-blooded murder!
The investigation by the police in Karimnagar Commissionerate, 150 kms from here, uncovered the alleged killers’ plot to project the murder as a road accident. A massive hunt is on for three persons — identified as Parashuramulu, Venu and Sridhar — wanted in one of the sensational homicides of recent times in Karimnagar.
The kingpin in the case, Parashuramulu, wanted to eliminate the victim — Ravula Srinivas who is working as physical director in Husnabad Government College — by hitting the latter’s bike with a four-wheeler, said a police officer unwilling to be named. But Srinivas escaped with injuries while his wife Rusheendra Mani died after battling for life for nine days, the officer associated with the investigation of the case said.
