Plumber Held For Murder, Body Found Under Kitchen Platform

Special teams of Neredmet police cracked a murder case with the arrest of a plumber who allegedly killed his co‑worker five months ago and concealed the body beneath a kitchen platform. According to Malkajgiri DCP Ch. Sridhar, the accused Gavvala Mallesh, a native of Siddipet district, had allegedly murdered mason Kanchi Venkat Ramulu on December 15 last year. The two had met at a labour adda in HB Colony and consumed liquor together after failing to secure work. During the drinking session, Venkat allegedly insulted Mallesh, leading to an argument during which the accused hit the victim on the head with a rod, causing instant death. Mallesh then tied Venkat’s hands, legs, and neck with a rope, concealed the body under a kitchen platform, and built a brick structure to cover it before fleeing. The offence came to light on March 4 when the house owner, unable to contact Mallesh since December, broke open the premises after noticing a foul smell. Police rushed to the scene with CLUES teams and exhumed skeletal remains. Sridhar said the investigation was challenging as the victim had little contact with his family and no missing complaint was filed. Based on human intelligence and technical analysis, Mallesh was traced and apprehended at JBS, Secunderabad. The DCP commended the efforts of Malkajgiri ACP V. Yadagiri Reddy, Neredmet SHO P. Sandeep Kumar, detective inspector Ch. Srinivas, sub-inspector S. Sai Avinash and the Neredmet police staff for solving the case with minimal clues. Driver booked for fake number plates Saidabad police booked a driver for using fake number plates of another vehicle pending registration with transport authorities on Saturday. The accused, Syed Hussain Mehdi, a resident of Chanchalguda, was caught while riding his bike in Saidabad. Verification revealed that he had affixed a fake number plate to the two-wheeler he purchased in 2019 and had deliberately avoided registration since then. “Mehdi has been misleading enforcement authorities to evade traffic challans,” said D. Joel Davis, joint commissioner (Traffic). Officials said Mehdi’s fake plates were linked to several traffic and Motor Vehicles Act violations, with pending challans wrongly generated against the legitimate owner, Md Ibrahim of AmannNagar, Talabkatta. The violator used fake plates bearing number TS11EK0593 on his bike, while the registered vehicle with the same number belonged to Ibrahim. The case has been handed over to Saidabad law and order police for further investigation. Biryani leg piece row turns violent at hotel A dispute over missing leg pieces in a jumbo chicken biryani pack escalated into violence at Victoria Hotel in Bharat Nagar, leaving a customer injured on Friday night. According to Sanathnagar police, the customer initially purchased four single packs after being told a jumbo pack was unavailable. Later that night, he returned alleging the biryani contained no leg pieces and demanded the owner provide them. When informed the hotel had closed, the customer, accompanied by three associates, allegedly damaged property by throwing sofas and kicking doors in the AC dining area. An argument broke out between the hotel staff and the group, during which the customer sustained bleeding injuries after being assaulted with sticks, police said. During investigation, one P. Arun of Bharat Nagar lodged a counter complaint stating he had sent his friend Dileep to buy biryani, but found no chicken pieces in the pack. Arun, along with Dileep, Rakesh, and Shiva, went to the hotel to question the owner, Mohsin. He alleged that the owner and staff verbally abused them and struck him on the head with a large spoon, causing serious injury. Arun was shifted to Omni Hospital, Kukatpally, where doctors administered eight stitches. He also claimed their motorcycles parked outside were damaged in the altercation. Police confirmed receiving complaints from both Arun and Mohsin. Cases have been registered under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and further investigation was underway. Man held for murdering mother‑in‑law CCTV footage played a crucial role in the arrest and judicial remand of a man who murdered his mother‑in‑law by smashing her head with a helmet while riding towards an isolated spot in Chengicherla. The accused initially tried to mislead police and family members by claiming she had suffered a fits attack. A special team, including IT personnel of Medipally police, arrested Karu Snehit, 24, on Saturday and sent him to Cherlapally prison. According to police, the incident occurred on April 29 evening following a quarrel between Snehit and his mother-in-law K. Aruna. Snehit complained to her against his wife Kavya at her house in RTC Colony, Chengicherla. Aruna cross‑checked with Kavya and her sister, who accused Snehit of rude behaviour. Angered that Aruna did not believe him, Snehit abused her over the phone that night. The following day, Snehit returned to Aruna’s house, forced her onto his bike, and rode towards Chengicherla. CCTV cameras captured him striking her head with a helmet while they were on the road. Aruna fell from the bike, said Medipally station house officer Ch. Shankaraiah. He then took Aruna to a hospital where doctors referred her to another hospital in view of the severity of her injuries. She died at the second hospital while undergoing treatment. Snehit later phoned Kavya, claiming the matter was resolved and falsely stated Aruna had collapsed due to a fits attack. Kavya became suspicious and alerted the police. Police examined CCTV footage and confirmed the assault. Snehit, a private employee who married Kavya nine months ago, was booked under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for culpable homicide and misleading investigators. His bike and helmet were seized.
