Staff Reporter

BANGALORE: A former member of the Hosur Town Municipal Council in Tamil Nadu was found murdered at his farmhouse at Ballur on Karnataka-Tamil Nadu border on Wednesday morning. The police gave the name of the victim as Srirama Reddy (45). He was a farmer and an employee of a leading industrial house in Hosur. He was reportedly into real estate business. The assailants had smashed Reddy's head with a boulder. Business rivalry is suspected to be the motive behind the murder. According to the police, his body was found in the farmhouse that falls under the jurisdiction of the Attibele police in Bangalore Rural district.

Around 7.30 a.m., Reddy's tractor driver Palani Swamy, who was sleeping at a servant's quarters at the farm, went to the farmhouse. He saw Reddy lying in a pool of blood and a boulder next to his body.
