He had recently returned to his village on learning that his daughter Pavani was suffering from an illness.

On Thursday night, Somaiah’s adversary Saidulu came with two persons named Kadari Somaiah and Kasam Kalingam armed with sticks and rods, and began indiscriminately attacking Kasam Somaiah. When his wife tried to stop, she too faced their wrath. The attackers broke Saidulu’s leg and inflicted him with a a head injury.

While witnessing all this, Pavani cried pleading with the accused not to attack her parents. She suddenly fell to the ground and became lifeless. The attackers fled the scene.

When the police reached the spot, they found that Pavani had already died. They shifted her body for post-mortem and admitted her parents to a hospital for treatment.

Based on Somaiah’s complaint, CI Raghuveer Reddy and SI Ilaiah registered a case and have been on the search for the culprits who were still at large.
