TRS leader Ramulu shot dead in Nalgonda
Hyderabad: Former naxal and TRS leader Konapuri Ramulu was shot dead by some unidentified men at a function hall in Miryalguda here on Sunday.
Ramulu had went to Baig Function Hall to attend the marriage of daughter of his friend and New Democracy leader Parvatalu. While he was returning, some unidentified men over-powered his gunmen and sprinkled chilli powder in the eyes of Ramulu. He was shot from the point-blank range at the head and chest leading to his instantaneous death. Ramulu hailed from Dasireddygudem of Valigonda mandal.
Ramulu was vice president of the TRS Nalgonda district unit. He was the brother of surrendered Maoist leader Sambasivudu who was murdered in 2011. TRS leaders said Ramulu had escaped earlier attempts on his life. He had complained to police about threats to his life.
TRS chief K. Chandrasekhara Rao condemned Ramulu's killing and demanded immediate action to arrest the culprits. Sambasivudu, involved in several murder cases and the mastermind in the assassination bid on former chief ministers N. Chandrababu Naidu and N. Janardhana Reddy, was made a politburo member of TRS after he joined the party.
