Peddapalli ZP chairman taken into custody by police
Peddapalli: Zilla Parishad Chairman Putta Madhukar, who went missing from April 30 night, has been taken into custody by Ramagundam police in Bhimavaram of Andhra Pradesh and brought to commissionerate office on Saturday.
In a statement on Saturday, police said Madhukar is being questioned as to why he went underground for the last ten days.
Earlier, police had already 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 and questioning, the statement said.
On the other hand, it was said that Madhukar, who is the close associate of former Minister and Huzurabad MLA Eatala Rajender, went missing when Rajender’s land grabbing episode came to fore. His mobile phone has also been switched off.
Though police have not given clarity 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 allegedly involved in the murder of advocates.
It may be recalled here 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.
