Hyderabad: Karkhana police arrested one Syed Sajjad Ahmed Khan for the murder of Bollu Ramesh, 51, a pan masala trader. Ramesh’s wife Janani had lodged a missing complaint on on January 18, after Ramesh did not return home.
The next day, the police questioned Khan, a resident of Keys Avenue Colony, Bundlaguda, Chandrayangutta, on suspicion, and detained him. He reportedly confessed to murdering Ramesh with the help of three others. He then led the police to Ramesh’s body at Kingaru thanda, Kusumanchi mandal of Kahammam district. Because it was decomposed, local government doctors conducted a postmortem at the scene.
Police said Khan had purchased pan masala from Ramesh and asked him to collect the payment at Kacheguda. He noticed that Ramesh had a large amount of money with him, kidnapped the trader with the help of his associates and murdered him.
