Mallesh Yadav, who claimed to be Balaram’s relative, used to visit the house and took `1,500 from Satyanarayana on the pretext of providing electric metre and water connection to the house.Later, Mallesh started demanding money from Satyanarayana alleging that the latter had extended the boundaries illegally.Mallesh also took `1,500 from Satyanarayana’s brother, Venkateswarlu.On October 13 last year, Mallesh went to Satyanarayana’s house and demanded `5,000 alleging that the latter was constructing the house illegally. “Fed up with Mallesh’s frequent demand for money, Satyanarayana decided to eliminate Mallesh. He asked Mallesh to wait at Vayupuri and informed his elder brother about his plan,’’ Venkat Reddy said.The duo took Mallesh on his bike to Vampuguda village, pushed him from the vehicle. Later, they smothered him to death, stuffed the body in a cover and dumped the body on the outskirts of Jawaharnagar gram panchayat.
