Hyderabad: Notorious criminal A. Yellam Goud, who surrendered before the police and was arrested in connection with the constable murder case, pleaded with the police and the government not to kill him in a false encounter.
He surrendered on Tuesday and is being questioned by the Cyberabad police.
“I request the police and the government not to kill me in an encounter. I will mend my ways and will not get involved in criminal activities from now on. Please forgive me. I have two kids,” Yellam Goud said.
Sources said that Yellam Goud became anxious after the two encounters carried out by the Cyberabad police, and decided to surrender.
Several special teams of the Cyberabad police were searching for him and his associates, after the brutal murder of the police constable.
Yellam Goud was hiding in Maharashtra. The cops have also recovered the fake currency notes he was carrying earlier.
The police is now trying to nab Goud’s buddy Sridhar.
Yellam Goud and his associates attacked the Zonal Task Force team of Balanganar at Shamirpet on August 1 midnight when they were stopped on the road for vehicle checking.
One constable was stabbed to death and a sub-inspector was injured seriously in their attack and had to be hospitalised.
The police shot and killed one gangster on the spot, while Yellam Goud and his associate managed to escape in their vehicle. The gang was bringing fake notes from Siddipet to Hyderabad when the clash occurred.
Yellam Goud, who hails from Siddipet of Medak district, was involved in many serious criminal cases in the past and is facing trial at many places in the state.
Cases of theft, robbery and assaults are pending against him in the police stations of Siddipet, Khammam, Nalgonda, Zaheerabad and other places.
