Man who accused ex-Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao of corruption found murdered

A man who had moved a court against former Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao and others accusing them of corruption in the construction of the Medigadda barrage as part of Kaleshwaram project was found murdered in Jayashankar Bhupalpally town, the police said.

N Rajalingamurthy, in his 50s, was stabbed to death over some land disputes by two unidentified persons, they added.

“Two persons waylaid Rajalingamurthy when he was going on a motor-cycle around 7.30 pm on Wednesday and stabbed him. He died while being shifted to a hospital,” a police official said.

A case was registered and a further probe is on, the police said.

Rajalingamurthy had earlier filed a private complaint in October 2023 in a court seeking FIR against KCR and others after some piers of the Medigadda barrage "sank".

KCR and, his nephew and former minister T Harish Rao subsequently approached the Telangana High Court, which in December last year suspended an order passed by the principal district sessions judge in Jayashankar Bhupalpally allowing a petition against them.
