Kothagudem police have pasted notices at  Raghavendra' s residence in his hometown which was locked.

It is reported that his father Venkateswara Rao handed him over to the police at the behest of TRS leaders convincing him to do so.Apparently, Raghava wanted to hold a media conference in Hyderabad on Thursday morning. However, the police, who have been in touch with the MLA since this morning, allegedly arrested Raghava before he could do so.

 A case has been registered against Vanama Raghavendra under Sections 302, 306,307 of the Indian Penal Code for murder and abetment to suicide. Police said they would file a counter-filing to prevent Raghava from getting bail.

The victim Naga Ramakrishna (45) a businessman accused Vanama Raghavendra Rao, of allegedly demanding sexual favours from his wife to settle a pending property issue in the family. He shared that Vanama had asked him to bring his wife to Hyderabad without the children if he expected him to resolve the property issue. Ramakrishna in the video stated that he couldn’t digest the fact that someone would ask for such favour and decided to die along with his family members because Raghavendra would not spare his family members if he died alone. He further alleged that his mother and sister also harassed him.
