Vijayawada to attend his training at the Railway Institute. The accused Kandepalli Shekhar (30), who is also a grade – I railway employee in Vijayawada approached him at the institute in his bike and stabbed him multiple times and fled the premises.

General Hospital (GGH), Raju breathed his last.
Cops said that Shekhar married his elder sister Jyothsna four years ago and was allegedly harassing her.

Just few minutes before murdering Raju, Shekhar called his wife and informed her that he is going to murder him and that he is coming for her life next. Cops sent Raju’s body for post-mortem. A case under section 302 of IPC (murder) was registered by SN Puram police. Police have deployed a team to nab Shekhar who is absconding.
