HYDERABAD: The

Cyberabad police

are still on the lookout for the two missing hired killers, E Krishna and Pasha, for their alleged involvement in the murder of Hemanth, who was killed by his in-laws over inter-caste marriage. Another assailant, Bichu Yadav, who has been arrested, is currently in hospital undergoing treatment for Covid-19.


In the last two days, several persons have been called to

Gachibowli

police station for questioning and investigation. “The hired killers had done it only for money, which was assured to them by

Yugender Reddy

, uncle of Avanthi, after killing Hemanth. As per our record, we found no previous criminal history of the assailants. Once we nab the two missing killers and also question Bichu Yadav after he recovers from Covid-19, we will know their history and their motive behind the murder.

On Monday, a rally was taken out against honour killing under the banner #Justice for Hemanth and Avanthi. The rally was taken out amid police bandobust. Large number of locals participated in the rally and raised slogans in support of Hemanth and demanded punishment for the accused. Police personnel were deployed at the residence of Avanthi’s parents.

On Tuesday, a local court is expected to hear the

custody petition

moved by the Gachibowli police, who wanted to take the accused into police custody for questioning them further to unearth full details behind the conspiracy to kill Hemanth.
