The Undercurrents in AP Politics are Turning Bloodier

Andhra Pradesh Violence: Rayalaseema's Gory Trail

The broad daylight murder of 43-year-old Gangula Suryanarayana Reddy alias Maddelacheruvu Suri, one of the feared gang leaders of the Rayalaseema region of Andhra Pradesh, in Hyderabad last week seems to be a scene out of a violent Bollywood flick.

The finger of suspicion is being pointed at Suri’s close associate Malisetti Bhanu Kiran, who allegedly holds benami properties worth crores of rupees of his master. “Had Ravi’s men killed our anna (Suri), we wouldn’t have felt bad, but our own man killed him,” says Vasudeva Reddy, a close accomplice of Suri. Although speculations are rife that Telugu Desam MLA Paritala Ravi’s men could be behind the killing, the police investigations have not revealed anything to that effect. Ravi, a former cabinet minister, was murdered in January 2005.

Suri had reportedly used his friend Moddu Sreenu to bump off Ravi who was allegedly responsible for planting a bomb in a television set that killed seven of his family members in 1995. To avenge these killings, Suri planted a car bomb to kill Ravi in vain in 1997 in Jubilee Hills during the shooting of the latter’s film Sri Ramulayya. As many as 26 persons, including six journalists of a private TV channel, lost their lives in the explosion. “Innocents were killed... I regret it as my target was only Ravi. But I know I will end up on a post-mortem table one day,” Suri openly told media persons soon after his release on conditional bail in December 2009.

The Ravi-Suri rivalry dated back to their warlord fathers' time almost four decades ago. Both Paritala Ravi's father Ramulayya and Suri's father Gangula Narayana Reddy were killed in faction violence.
