Gangula Bhanumati, wife of Maddelachervu Suri, who was shot dead on Monday evening near Jubilee Hills-Yousufguda Junction, on Tuesday demanded the arrest of real culprits behind the killing of her husband. In an interview to a private TV channel, Bhanumathi said she never suspected that Bhanu Kiran alias Prakash would kill her husband. She also said that she does not know about the real motive behind the murder but demanded justice and arrest of real culprit.

Meanwhile Director General of Police K Aravinda Rao in Vijayawada stated on Tuesday that the primary investigation proved that Suri was shot from close range and his assailants were travelling with him in his car. Mr Aravinda Rao added that the police have formed six special teams to arrest Bhanu Prakash, the main suspect behind the murder. He added that the police are investigating the murder from all angles based on the clues given by car driver Madhu.

Meanwhile, rumours that Bhanu Prakash had been arrested within a few hours of the murder continue to do rounds. The DGP however maintained that the prime suspect was still on the run. He added that the exact number of assailants who participated in the attack on Suri are yet to be ascertained.

Meanwhile the Banjara Hills police on Tuesday registered a case in the murder based on the complaint filed by Suri’s driver Madhu. The police in the First Information report filed cases against Bhanu Kiran and one Madanmohan Singh under Section 302.
