After re-registering a case in the murder of NRI businessman Chigurupati Jayaram, the city police on Friday filed a petition in a local court seeking transfer of two accused from Nandigama sub-jail in Andhra Pradesh to Hyderabad.
Banjara Hills Assistant Commissioner of Police K. Srinivasa Rao, who is investigating the case told The Hindu that Jubilee Hills police filed a petition before the court. “Once the prisoner on transit (PT) warrant is issued by the court, accused K. Rakesh Reddy and watchman at his house D. Srinivas will be transferred to prisons in the city,” Mr. Rao said.
Further, the officer said that a statement of Jayaram’s wife Padmasri has been recorded at their residence in Jubilee Hills.
The Andhra Pradesh police have transferred the case to their counterparts in Telangana on point of jurisdiction.
Jayaram was found dead inside a sedan car on January 31 near Ithavaram village in Nandigama of Krishna district in AP.
