Deputy Commissioner of Police Rajesh Chandra said Thadepally Narayana was carrying out land development works and entered into agreement with the land owner to develop his land in JSR Sun-City venture. As breaking boulders manually required cumbersomme and expensive, the venture supervisors resorted to blasting of rocks using explosives without permission from the authorities concerned.
