15 more arrested for kidnapping three businessmen in Hyderabad

Hyderabad, Jan 17 : The Hyderabad police have arrested 15 more people in connection with sensational kidnap of three businessmen brothers in the city earlier this month.
Those arrested included an event manager who provided 20 men for execution of the crime. Police Commissioner Anjani Kumar announced the arrests at a news conference on Sunday.
The arrested include two men who wore khaki uniform to pose as cops and threatened Praveen Kumar, Sunil Kumar and Naveen Kumar while kidnapping them from their residence in Bowenpalli on January 5.
The Police Commissioner said the arrests were made on the basis of information obtained from prime accused and conspirator Bhuma Akhila Priya, a former minister of Andhra Pradesh. “Based on her confession, the entire sequence of events was unearthed along with the details of the accomplices and the roles they played,” he said.
With this the number of people arrested in the case rose to 19. Akhila Priya was arrested hours after the kidnappers let off the victims on the outskirts of Hyderabad in the early hours of January 6.
The young TDP leader is currently under judicial custody. Police last week took her into custody for three days and gathered vital information about the crime.
