With the arrest of Kunta Srinivas, S Chiranjeevi and Akkapaka Kumar, police came to know that Vasantha Rao was not involved directly in the murder. Vasantha Rao’s name was mentioned in the remand report stating that some more evidence was yet to be collected since he was in dispute with Vamana Rao’s family over the election of a new committee for Ramaswamy and Gopalaswamy temple.

The report said that Kunta Srinivas, Akkapaka Kumar and Vasantha Rao formed a new temple committee and conducted a meeting, summoning temple secretary Indrashekar Rao without the permission of village sarpanch.

Kunta Srinivas with the help of villagers elected Vasantha Rao as new chairman of the temple and scrapped the old committee headed by Vamana Rao’s brother.
