The Mokila police of Cyberabad arrested two journalists and a Home Guard from Hyderabad for the death of a man who was found dead after killing his three sons at a construction site earlier this month. Police said that they threatened to publish news against the man and demanded ₹10 lakh from him.
Mokila police Inspector B. Veera Babu said that the man, 32-year-old Ravi Kumar, resided with his three sons after his estranged wife, Sri Latha, was at her mother’s place.
“Ravi invested in a pyramid scheme named ‘GSN Money Circulation scheme’ through one Thirupathi Rao and also made some area locals join it as part of the process. After receiving some returns initially, the scheme stopped paying them. Meanwhile, the couple had a fallout after the area residents started harassing him and his family for their return investments,” explained the official.
