During interrogations, Anwesh confessed to committing the offence by forming a gang with one Kamera Madhu and Duguta Dilip of Nennal, Bhanuprasad and Ashok and with the help of the revolver. He admitted to collecting the revolver from Bhanuprasad to eliminate Jithender a week back. Bhanuprasad disclosed that he got it from Ashok.

Ashok revealed that the revolver belongs to his brother-in-law Thokala Thirupathi from Somanpallli in Chennur who worked with New Democracy’s student union PDSU and SCCL’s trade union IFTU. Thirupathi was hiding it at Ashok for 15 years. He said that he started using it when Thirupathi died in a road accident 8 months back.

Ashok said that he was using the weapon, an air pistol and a long sword brought from Nanded in Maharashtra to terrorise the gullible public of Nennal for quite a long time.

Bhaskar said that a search was launched to nab Madhu and Dilip. He commended Mancherial Inspector R Bansilal for arresting the three in short time by showing spontaneity.
