Kurnool police arrested five individuals in connection with the murder of Kashapogu Sanjanna, which took place on March 14 at Shareen Nagar. The District SP Vikrant Patil provided details about the case during a press conference at the district police office’s Vyasa Auditorium on Friday.
The murder stemmed from a long-standing feud between two families, said SP Vikrant Patil. The accused were identified and arrested based on technical evidence and CCTV footage. Investigations are ongoing, and the police are exploring the possibility that more individuals were involved in the crime.
Kashapogu Sanjanna, a 60-year-old father of 30th Ward Corporator Jayaramudu and a prominent TDP leader, was attacked outside the Alli Peer Veera Swamy Bhajan Mandir in Shareen Nagar shortly after a bhajan session. The assailants, armed with knives, sickles, and clubs, included local rowdy-sheeter Vadde Anjaneyulu, his sons, wife, and associates. Sanjanna was attacked and killed in the early evening.
The police have arrested Vadde Anjaneyulu (52), Vadde Shiva Kumar (20), Vadde Tulasi (23), Vadde Revanth (22), and Mala Ashok (30) for their involvement in the murder. The case has been registered under charges of murder and relevant sections of the SC/ST Atrocities Act.
