Ex-Andhra minister arrested for murder

Vijayawada: Andhra Pradesh police on Friday night arrested Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader and former Andhra Pradesh minister Kollu Ravindra in connection with the murder of a leader of ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP).

Ravindra was arrested in Tuni in East Godavari district when he was heading towards Visakhapatnam. A police team from Krishna district stopped the TDP leader and arrested him. He was being brought to Vijayawada. The former minister has been arrested in connection with the murder of M. Bhaskar Rao, a close associate of Transport Minister Perni Venkataramaiah.

The former Machilipatnam market yard chairman was stabbed to death by four unidentified persons in broad daylight in the fish market in Machilipatnam on June 29.

 On a complaint by the slain leader’s family, police had registered a case against Kollu Ravindra.

 Alleging that Ravindra is the mastermind behind the criminal conspiracy, Bhaskar Rao’s widow had demanded his immediate arrest.

The police have already arrested three persons in connection with the murder case. Meanwhile, TDP president and former chief minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has condemned Ravindra’s arrest.
