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.

Tikamgarh, Jul 25: Promise of providing housing to the poor has been made by both Centre as well as State governments but a Dalit family in Tikamgarh district of Madhya Pradesh is forced to live in a toilet for the last several years.

However, the administration denied that the family is living in the toilet.

Maganlal Ahirwar, his wife and four children live in Keshavgarh Gram Panchayat of Mohangarh area of Tikamgarh district. All of them have been living in the toilet for four years. Ahirwar's wife Phula Devi said she told the authorities several times that her family didn't get house under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, but no one listened. The couple even got their daughter married in the same toilet.

They even got an electricity connection and gas connection under the Ujjwala scheme.

Mohangarh tehsildar Dr. Abhijeet Singh told media persons, "I got to know about the case and have asked for the report. Maganlal Ahirwar came to the office two-three days ago and denied that he was living in the toilet with his family. He has an ancestral house in the village."

He might have lived in a toilet earlier but currently he is not living there, Dr. Singh added.

Wanted in the Tuticorin custodial deaths of P Jeyaraj and his son J Bennicks, Muthuraj was arrested on late Friday.

Muthuraj was later remanded to the judicial custody till July 17.

Jeyaraj and Bennicks had been booked for not closing their mobile shop in time on June 19 by the Sathankulam police. They were sent to judicial custody and lodged in the Kovilpatti jail on June 21.

Jeyaraj died on June 22 night and Bennicks on June 23 morning in judicial custody, allegedly due to the police torture.

The Madras High Court while hearing the case had said there was prima facie evidence to register a murder case against the Sathankulam police officials.

The court also transferred the probe into the deaths of Jeyaraj and Bennicks to the CBCID to gather and protect the evidence till the case is handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

It has also initiated criminal contempt cases against three police officials -- Additional Superintendent of Police Kumar, Deputy Superintendent of Police Prathapan and constable Maharajan -- for their behaviour at the Sathankulam police station in front of Kovilpatti Judicial Magistrate MS Bharathidasan who had gone for an inquiry.
