On being interrogated, Mamidi Srinivas confessed to committing the crime as he was vexed at Rao for delaying registration of some land on the name of Mamidi Srinivas citing petty reasons for over a year. He admitted that he killed Rao with the assistance of Dasari Srinivas. He had invited the realtor to discuss the land dispute and killed him.

Mamidi Srinivas bought a piece of land from Rao by paying Rs 30 lakh and they both entered into an agreement of registering the property in the name of Srinivas, in 2022. But, Rao was not registering the land. He promised to register if the two prevented a structure being constructed on his land in Gadderagadi. Still, he kept postponing the registration.

The two further said that they fled the spot by leaving the motorbike of Dasari Srinivas after murdering Rao. However, a special team led by Bellampalli ACP Sadaiah, was formed to track the the assailants. Sudhir commended the team for solving the mystery within 24 hours.
