TRS suspends Raghavendra, accused in suicide abetment case
Vanama Raghavendra, the main accused wanted in connection with the Old Paloncha-based businessman's family suicide case, was reportedly arrested by the police from an undisclosed location somewhere along the inter State border with Andhra Pradesh around Friday midnight.
Raghavendra, son of TRS legislator from Kothagudem Vanama Venkateshwar Rao, was picked up by the district police late in the night and brought him to Kothagudem for questioning.
Raghavendra is in the eye of the storm following serious allegations of abetting a debt-ridden businessman Ramakrishna to commit suicide along with his wife and two daughters in Old Paloncha on Monday. Ramakrishna’s selfie video, in which he squarely blamed Raghava for driving him to take the extreme decision unable to digest his "ulterior motives" targeting his wife, sparked public outcry.
