Peddapalli: Zilla Parishad Chairman Putta Madhukar, who went missing since April 30 night, has been taken into custody by Ramagundam police from Bhimavaram of Andhra Pradesh, and was brought to Peddapalli on Saturday. In a statement on Saturday, police said Madhukar was being questioned as to why he went underground for the last ten days. Earlier, police had questioned Madhukar in connection with the sensational murder of advocate couple Gattu Vamana Rao and PV Nagamani.
However, Vamana Rao’s father Kishan Rao recently lodged another complaint in connection with the murder of his son and daughter-in-law. Based on the complaint, police took ZP Chairman into custody for questioning, the statement said.
It was also alleged that Madhukar, a close associate of former Minister and Huzurabad MLA Eatala Rajender, went missing when Rajender’s land grabbing episode came to the fore. His mobile phone has also been switched off.
Though police have not given clarity about in which case ZP chairman was taken into custody, Madhukar was facing allegations in the murder of advocate couple. His nephew Bittu Srinu and followers were involved in the murder of the advocates.
It may be recalled that based on the court’s instructions, a case was also registered against Madhukar’s wife and Manthani Municipal Chairperson Putta Shailaja for providing her mobile phone to Bittu Srinu to make a video call with someone from the court premises.
