Plot to kill Telugu Tv news channel reporter busted

The Hyderabad Task Force police have busted the plot to kill a reporter who works for a Telugu news channel and arrested five persons in connection with the case.

The news channel reporter married a girl eight months ago, against the wish of her parents. Following this, the girl's father developed a grudge against his son-in-law, who belongs to a different community. He also hired a gang of five people to assasinate his son-in-law and a deal was finalized for Rs 5 lakh. An advance of Rs 1 lakh has already been paid to them.

The gang members had recently conducted a recce near the house of the reporter at
Manikonda and closely followed his movements. Police got the tip-off the developments and arrested them at Shaikpet. Based upon information given by the gang during interrogation, the police would arrest the girl's father soon.
