Hyderabad, June 08: A body was fished out from Boduppal lake near Nacharam on Sunday.
Nacharam inspector V Venkateshwarlu said the body was identified as that of R Venkatesh, 40, an auto-driver who went missing on May 30. Incidentally, Venkatesh was a history-sheeter.
Venkatesh’s family had lodged a missing complaint with the Osmania University police station on June 3. Police suspect Venkatesh was done to death with a boulder as there was an injury on his head.
“According to the victim’s family members, Venkatesh left his house with his friend Suresh on May 30 and did not return after that,” Venkateshwarlu said.
An anonymous person informed police about the floating body.
Police suspect a land dispute might be the reason for the murder of Venkatesh, who was a resident of Shanti Nagar near Lalapet.
Nacharam police have registered a case under Section 304 (Murder) of the Indian Penal Code.
