Police Officer Gives Supari of Rs. 5 Lakh to Kill Son-in-Law

Vijayawada: An assistant sub-inspector of Nunna police station, A Rama Rao, gave a supari contract to rowdy sheeters to kill his son-in-law.

The incident came to light following the arrest of the contract killers and the assistant sub-inspector. The latter's daughter fell in love with a welder, shyam, of Paadi Street in Satyanarayanpuram and married him in 2014. They have a daughter. However, Rama Rao was against the marriage. He planned to kill Shyam and arrange for a second marriage for his daughter.
In this regard he contacted a resident of Vambay Colony, Sheikh Qasim, and agreed for a supari amount of Rs. 5 lakh. He also paid an advance of Rs. 1.5 lakh. Qasim, on his part, contacted rowdy sheeters from Vambay Colony, Kandrika Colony and a local political leader to plan and execute the murder. They intended to get Shyam drunk and push on railway tracks in order to potray it as a case of suicide. They also started befriending Shyam at his welding shop. After several casual meetings with Shyam, they invited him for drinks but he failed to turn up.
Meanwhile, one of the gang members spilled the beans to his friends during a drinking session. The news reached Satyanarayana police station who swung into action and arrested all the gang members who confessed to the plan. Based on their confessions, Rama Rao was also arrested.
