The Anantapur Urban Police on December 6 (Wednesday) arrested eleven persons in connection with a murder of a youth allegedly perpetrated by a gang hired by his business partner. Superintendent of Police K.K.N. Anburajan said that the accused seemed to have took inspiration from movies to execute the murder and dispose of the body later.
Shaik Mohammad Rafi and Mohammad Ali, in their 30s, hailing from Anantapur town were known to be close friends. Differences cropped up between them as they blamed each other for the huge losses they incurred in real estate business and export-import trading. Ali reportedly started pestering Rafi for money, besides frequently visiting the latter’s house, and behaving with his family members in an objectionable manner.
Vexed with this, Rafi allegedly decided to eliminate Ali and sought the help of his longtime friend Sivaram hailing from Anantapur town for it.
