Paruchuri Surendra Kumar (51) was the founder of the Paruchuri Global Foundation, Global Security Services and Galaxy Capital Investments Pvt Ltd.

Financial reasons are believed to be the motive for the murder.

According to the police, Kumar, a bachelor, was staying alone in a rented bungalow at Postal Colony in Hanumaiah Layout, about 50 metres from the Sanjaynagar police station.

He was returning home after celebrating Deepavali with his staff when the incident took place.

Kumar went to his office in Hebbal and distributed sweets and firecrackers to his staff. Later, he went to his farm house at Kammanahallipalya near Devanahalli, where he sheltered 56 stray dogs. Around 9.40 pm, Kumar reached his bungalow.

He was about to open the gate when the two bike-borne suspects accosted him. The duo fired six bullets at him from a very close range and fled.

“He sustained injuries on his cheek, neck, temple, shoulder, chest and stomach. His car driver and security guard rushed him to M?S?Ramaiah Hospital, where doctors declared him dead on arrival,” the victim’s brother, Captain Chowdary, told DH.

“He always carried a licensed weapon. He kept it in a suitcase on the rear seat of the car. The attack was so quick that my brother did not have time to react,” Chowdary said.

Police said the suspects were on his trail from the Hebbal flyover.

They reached his residence minutes before he arrived and hid behind a bush, completely out of sight. Reports suggest that the duo were on a black Pulsar motorbike, but the police are yet to confirm this.

Kumar had dismissed the heads of a few sections in his offices about seven months ago. Their involvement in the murder is suspected. Police have also not ruled out the possibility of contract killing.

The driver and security guard have been detained for questioning.

“He had lodged 11 complaints against his former employees and servants regarding thefts. There was a complaint of intimidation against him. There could be business and personal causes behind the murder.?The police will arrest the suspects soon,”?Additional Commissioner of Police (West)?K S R?Charan Reddy said.

Amaravati, Jul 31: Nine people have died after allegedly consuming sanitiser in Prakasam district of Andhra Pradesh today, the police said.

Prakasam district Superintendent of Police Siddharth Kaushal said the people had been consuming sanitiser for the past few days, mixing it with water and soft drinks.

"We are also investigating whether they laced the sanitiser with any other toxic substances," the official said.

"Their family members say these people have been consuming sanitiser for the past ten days. We are sending the sanitiser stocks, being sold in the area, for examination," he added.

Kurichedu in Prakasam district has been under lockdown due to rise in coronavirus cases and hence, liquor shops have also been shut since the past few days.

Habitual drinkers were said to be consuming sanitisers that have alcohol content, apart from illicitly distilled arrack.

The police said two beggars near a temple were the first to fall victim on Thursday night. While one of them was found dead at the spot, another died in the government hospital in Darsi town, they said.

A third person was also taken to the Darsi hospital late on Thursday night after he fell unconscious but he was declared brought dead. Six others who fell ill after allegedly consuming sanitiser, died this morning.

Others who fell ill after consuming sanitiser are undergoing treatment at their residences in the village, the police added.
