Produce Suri by April 15: court

By Our Staff Reporter

ANANTAPUR, APRIL 4. The Additional Assistant Sessions Court here today directed the authorities of the district jail at Reddypalli to produce the key suspect in the Paritala Ravindra murder case, G. Suryanarayana Reddy alias Suri, to produce before it by April 15.

The directive was given on a petition filed by the counsel for Suri, C. Adisesha Reddy, seeking the court to revive the trial of two criminal cases of 1995, in which Suri was a suspect. He had also requested the court through the petition filed on April 1 that the two cases be tried in the district courts at Anantapur.

Suri changes tack?

Mr. Adisesha Reddy, who met his client in the jail, said Suri had told him that the CBI had pressurised him during interrogation. Talking to presspersons, he said Suri said that he was in no way connected to Paritala murder and that he had not used either cellphone or collected money for the crime.

Suspect in other cases

Suri is a suspect in the attempt on the life of the VAO of Maddelacheruvu village of Kanaganapalli mandal, the native place of Suri, K.L. Narayana Rao, and bid on the latter's son, K. Sambasiva Rao, at a Kalyandrug lodge -- both in 1995.

Earlier, the II Town police moved a petition seeking custody of Suri in the Kanganapalli MPP, T. Prabhakar's murder case of September 2004. It is learnt that the police were considering including Suri's name as conspiracy suspect in the murder of one Madanmohan, a staunch follower of Ravindra, after the last Assembly elections.

Bellary police plea

Besides, the Bellary police are also said to be planning to seek custody of Suri for interrogation in the murder of M. Venkateswara Rao, a former PWG leader and mentor of Ravindra, at Bellary in October last.

A few action team members of Paritala Ravindra murder had `confessed' to the police earlier that they had also participated in the killing of Prabhakar and Venkateswar Rao.

On the CBI plea for collecting the blood samples and specimen signatures of all action team and logistic team members of Paritala murder was again postponed to April 6 by the AJFCM, A. Jayaraj, on Monday.
