Murderer held within hours

The police arrested a person Sasi Krishna in the murder of B.Tech girl student Nalla Ramya on Sunday night when he was trying to give a slip to the police. According to reports, Krishna started to Narasraopeta to get rid of police after murdering Ramya. The police, who started the investigation with the help of CCTV footage and information from the locals, formed four teams and plunged into action.

They got information about Krishna going to Narasaraopet and arrested the accused on the way at Pamidipadu. The accused severely resisted the arrest and tried to commit suicide by cutting his veins but the police foiled the bid. The police shifted the accused to the government hospital and after primary treatment, shifted him to Guntur for further investigation. AP DGP Gautam Sawang said the accused was arrested by Guntur urban police. In a press release issued on Sunday night, Sawang said the police detected the accused and took him into custody.

He said the accused was identified with the help of CCTV footage and made it clear the culprit would be punished severely. He termed the murder as unfortunate and appealed to the youth to be cautious with the relations in social media. The DGP appealed to the people not to look at the incident in a political view and said such wicked acts should be faced with collective efforts. He praised the Guntur urban police for successfully arresting the accused in a short time and added that orders were issued to punish the culprit soon.
