According to police, the victim, Durgavva (68), was living on her old-age pension given by the Telangana government. Elderly persons get a monthly pension of Rs 2,000 per month in Telangana from the State government. Durgavva used to use the money to get her two square meals.
However, Ramachandram used to snatch away the money from her. This month, when she refused to give it to him, an enraged Ramachandram beat her to death.
Ramachandram is being interrogated and has been booked for murder.
