Prime accused attacked by supari gang

Visakhapatnam: Yoga teacher PV Ramana’s murder case took  a new turn on Sunday as the prime accused in the murder case KV Ramana was allegedly attacked by other accused in the murder case for allegedly not paying 'supari' for eliminating PV Ramana. However, there are several doubts being raised on the murder attempt on KV Ramana. KV Ramana was found with injuries at Barma Colony in the city on Sunday morning and he was shifted to KGH and he is undergoing treatment and his condition is stated to be stable.

According to police, KV Ramana confessed that he hired a city- based killer gang to eliminate yoga teacher PV Ramana at Rs 1.5 lakh and also paid the money. The killer gang murdered the yoga teacher at Marripalem on Friday night by attacking with iron rods. 

The police, who are investigating the murder of PV Ramana, said that the accused KV Ramana was making contradictory statements.

 "Initially, he said he celebrated a liquor party with the killer gang after eliminating the yoga teacher on Saturday night and the gang attacked him for failure to pay the money as per contract. Changing his version, the accused is saying that the gang attacked him assuming that he would reveal their names during police interrogation as he was captured in the CCTV footage," said inspector M Mahesh.  

Meanwhile, sources said that KV Ramana revealed two names of the killer gang and the police launched a man-hunt to nab the duo. Further investigation is on.
