In a disturbing incident that has shaken the local community in Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Konaseema, a 68-year-old aqua farm owner identified as Datla Ramakrishna Raju was brutally murdered. The incident took place at his private fish pond located in Kotha Muramalla village, falling under the jurisdiction of the I. Polavaram mandal in Andhra Pradesh.
Details of the Aqua Farm Murder Investigation
Preliminary investigations reveal that the victim was targeted by migrant laborers who had been employed to provide security for his aqua farm. Reports suggest that a work-related dispute between the farm owner and the workers escalated into a violent confrontation on Tuesday. According to official statements from law enforcement, the suspects were allegedly under the influence of ganja at the time of the fatal assault.
The perpetrators reportedly attacked Datla Ramakrishna Raju with a heavy rock. To hide their crime, they tied the heavy stone to the victim's waist and callously threw his body into the pond. Following the horrific act, the accused individuals fled the scene, attempting to evade capture by the local authorities.
Rapid Response by Local Authorities
The local police initiated an immediate search operation upon receiving information about the disappearance and subsequent discovery of the body. Through swift action and coordinated efforts, the police force successfully tracked and apprehended all four migrant workers, who were found in the vicinity of Kakinada.
SI Raveendra confirmed that the primary motive behind the murder appears to be linked to a professional disagreement that turned fatal under the influence of illicit substances. A formal case has been registered by the police department against the four suspects. As the investigation continues, authorities are working to finalize the charges to ensure justice for the victim and his grieving family. This incident has raised significant concerns regarding the oversight of migrant labor in rural agricultural enterprises across the district, prompting calls for better vetting and monitoring processes in local farms.
