Meanwhile, the family members of the victims attacked the houses of the accused in the village and set afire the house of Bhukya Nagaraju, the main accused of the murders. The situation in the village is tense. The family of the deceased claimed that the woman was in an affair with Srinu and the case was filed only to extract money from him.
