Hyderabad man was killed at behest of wife’s family: Police

Two youths, both 20, have been arrested for the murder of Shanivarapu Venkata Narayana Reddy (25) whose burnt body was recovered from Jinnaram forest area recently. Those arrested have been identified as Gajulapalli Srinivasa Reddy and Kamalapathi Kasi Rao. One Shaik Ashiq is already in custody in connection with the case.

Madhapur DCP K Shilpavalli Saturday told the media that Narayana Reddy was killed allegedly at the behest of his father-in-law Venkateshwar Reddy and brother-in-law Chandrasekhar Reddy. The father-son duo is absconding, he said.

Narayana had married Ravali about a year ago even as her family was against it due to groom’s social standing.
The DCP said that Ravali returned to her parents after she was convinced by them that they have accepted her decision and would bless the couple at a grand ceremony.
