Sekhar was allegedly murdered by some unidentified persons and his body was tied to a cement pole before being dumped in the well. He left home on October 13, citing some work. He did not return till Sunday. His wife Girija lodged a complaint with police. Sirpur (T) police registered a missing case and took up investigations.

It is learned Chilukaiah nursed a grudge against Sekhar following the death of his elder brother in the past. He eliminated the daily wager by taking assistance of five others a few days back.
