HYDERABAD: The Cyberabad police arrested four more persons in the Hemanth ‘honour’ killing case on Monday. The accused, who were on the run since September 24, have been identified as Erukala Krishna, Mohd Pasha, Byagari Sayanna alias Sailu, and Somayala Raju. It may be mentioned that Sailu was involved in two other murder cases in Patancheru, and has an active rowdy sheet at IDA Bollarum police station.

The police found that Sailu was a close friend of Hemanth’s wife Avanti’s maternal uncle Guduru Yugender Reddy, and had helped Avanti’s family in coordinating with the hired killers.
