Nalgonda(AP), March 29: Four persons, claiming to have killed TRS polit bureau member and former Maoist Sambashivudu, surrendered before police in Nalgonda district today.
Four persons, including three from Hyderabad, surrendered at the Choutuppal police station claiming that they had murdered Sambashivudu, district SP Rajesh Kumar said.
“They are yet to reach the district headquarters. Then we will begin interrogating them,” he said.
Sambashivudu was hacked to death by unidentified assailants in Nalgonda on Saturday while he was returning to Hyderabad along with his supporters after attending ‘Telangana dhoom dham’, a pro-Telangana cultural programme, at Sangem village in Veligonda mandal of the district.
Sambasivudu, whose original name was Konapuri Ilaiah, was state secretary of CPI(Maoist) and had surrendered before the government in 2009.
He joined the TRS last year to fight for separate Telangana and was made a member of the party’s polit bureau.
