A man and his son were arrested by the Kancharapalem Police for their alleged role in the death of a 49 year old man.
Giving details to the media on Monday, Assistant Commissioner of Police North C. M. Naidu said that the accused K. Eswara Rao (45) and his son Srinu (22) of ASR Nagar, Burma camp, had beaten Venkata Ramana of the same area black and blue resulting in his death on Saturday night.
The victim had arranged a hand loan of Rs.10,000 to Eswara Rao for purchase of autorickshaw by the latter. Eswara Rao had neither returned the loan amount nor was paying the interest thereon.
Venkata Ramana had been demanding returning of the loan amount.
Around 8 p.m. on May 24, the victim once again sought repayment of the loan.
Eswara Rao became angry and started beating Venkata Ramana with his hands on his neck and other parts. Srinu also beat him indiscriminately and both of them dragged Venkata Ramana on the road.
The victim was shifted to a private hospital, where the doctors declared him ‘brought dead’. Venkata Ramana’s wife Mollamamba lodged a complaint with the Kancharapalem Police the same night.
The accused were arrested by Inspector T. Emmanuel Raju and his team on Sunday evening. The accused are being sent to judicial custody.
