RP Patnaik

Tollywood music director RP Patnaik reacted to the brutal murder and demanded justice for the victim. He has announced a reward of Rs 50, 000 for anybody giving information about the absconding accused involved in the rape and murder case of the 6-year-old girl Chaitra. He took to his Facebook and wrote, "Let's help the police department in finding this culprit Pallakonda Raju. The little girl's soul will be happy only after this guy gets capital punishment. Hyderabad city Police have announced a reward of 10 lakhs for whoever helps in finding him. From my side, I will pay 50,000. I am sure the clue of a tattoo on his hand as "Mounika" may help us get him for sure. Please check he may be around us."
