Two arrested for kidnap, murder of city lawyer Vinnakota Seetarama Kalyan

Two men involved in the kidnap and murder of city lawyer Vinnakota Seetarama Kalyan were arrested.
The superintendent of police, Mr Y. Nagi Reddy, told newsmen here on Saturday that Siva Kumar and his wife Rupa Surya Sri were having some family disputes. As lawyer Kalyan was coming in the way for sorting out the disputes with the family elders, Siva Kumar and his father Kanakaiah conspired to eliminate the lawyer.
Accordingly, Siva Kumar sought the help of his friends including Pranay Kumar, Kalesh, Polameti Pavan Kalyan alias Bablu and Vinay Kranti to arrive in Rajahmundry from Hyderabad and threaten the lawyer not to interfere in the issue. Siva Kumar came to Rajahmundry some 15 days ago and stayed in a lodge to watch the moments of the lawyer.
On February 22, when Kalyan was riding on a motorcycle at Prakash Nagar, he was abducted in a car belonging to Kalesh while Pavan Kalyan and Vinay Kranti trailed them on the bike.
While going in the car, Kalyan was put on sedation with chloroform and as they were on their way to Maredumilli forests, Siva Kumar hit Kalyan with an iron rod on his head and even when Kalyan was struggling, Siva Kumar, with his friend Pranay Kumar, put a belt around his neck as a noose and they also strangulated him with the banian.
As Kalyan died, they dumped the body in a valley at Maredumilli tiger forest. The superintendent of police said that crime circle-inspector Ch V. Rama Rao arrested Siva Kumar’s friends including S. Pranay Kumar and K. Kalesh involved in the murder in Hyderabad in the early hours on Friday and added that for killing Kalyan, Siva Kumar and his father Kanakaiah spent Rs 60,000.
Mr Nagi Reddy also said that they were on the look out for the main culprit Siva Kumar and his father Kanakaiah.
