Hyderabad, April 26: Bhanu Kiran, prime accused in the murder of Rayalaseema factionist Maddelacheruvu Suri appears to be disclosing startling facts about his criminal life during the CID interrogation after he was take n into its custody on Wednesday.
He has reportedly told sleuths of the agency that he has financed production of four films – ‘Rakta Charitra 1 & 2’, ‘Komaram Puli’ and ‘Khaleja’ with the settlement money and lost heavily. He has also reportedly admitted to have threatened the owners of the Shalimar Videos and film financier Vijayanthi Reddy after losing money in film production.
He reportedly told the CID that though he had made loads of money through land settlements, he also spent heavily. The daily expenditure of the Suri gang was a whopping Rs. 3 lakhs per day, he reportedly told the sleuths. Wine, women, rich food and heavy payments to gang members cost him heavily he told the investigators. Still, Suri suspected that he was pocketing most of the settlement money and in fact planned to kill him, he alleged.
He is also reported to have told the CID authorities that he and Suri’s sister had met several political leaders lobbying for reduction of his sentence. He has also told the officers that a senior revenue official of RR district and a police officer had cooperated with him in his land settlements. He has reportedly admitted that he had annexed 100 acres of Pedda Cheruvu (water tank) land under survey number 40 of Kachiguda and another 100 acres of government land under survey number 83 of Rayadurgam, with the help of the revenue official. Bhanu has revealed details of several such land grabs he had done with the help of revenue and police officials. ACB sleuths are now checking out facts and gathering information that would stand the scrutiny of the courts.
Meanwhile, politicians and officials who had contacts with the criminal are shivering in their pants, fearing he might expose their own role. CID sleuths are also said to be busy collecting information about the minister who Bhanu said had provided shelter to him.
