Hyderabad Crime: Six Arrested for Murder in LB Nagar, Weapons Seized

Hyderabad: The LB Nagar police have arrested six people for killing a man last week. The weapons used in the crime were also seized.

According to the police, the victim, Boddu Mahesh, had a history of criminal activities and had been in conflict with the accused for two years. In 2023, one of the arrested men, Purushotham, attacked Mahesh during a wedding in Hayathnagar.

In retaliation, Mahesh and his associates attacked Purushotham and his group in December 2024 at Chaitanyapuri. While Purushotham managed to escape, his associates were seriously injured, leading to Mahesh’s arrest.

After being released on bail, Mahesh allegedly threatened to kill Purushotham. Fearing for his life, Purushotham, along with Nagarjuna, Sandeep, Ramu, Raja Rakesh, and Omkar, killed Mahesh.

All six accused were taken into judicial custody on Wednesday.
