HYDERABAD: In a shocking case of political rivalry turning violent, Congress leader and former sarpanch Chakrayya Goud was murdered in Miriyala village of Nutankal mandal, Surayapet district, on March 17. Police have arrested 13 individuals in connection with the murder, including his own daughter and son-in-law.
According to investigators, the motive behind the Congress leader Chakrayya Goud murder was an intense internal factional conflict over political dominance in the village. Goud had served for over 30 years as sarpanch and cooperative society chairman, earning significant influence in local politics.
Police revealed that Chakrayya Goud’s son-in-law played a key role in orchestrating the murder after their relationship turned hostile. He viewed Goud as part of a rival political faction and plotted the attack with support from his wife—Goud’s daughter—and other accomplices.
The Congress party’s local factionalism is believed to have intensified the tensions, leading to this brutal act. The arrested individuals reportedly conspired to eliminate Goud to gain control over village political affairs.
Police have confirmed that all 13 accused have been taken into custody and investigations are ongoing to determine the complete sequence of events and any further involvement. Authorities described the murder as a calculated move rooted in long-standing political enmity.
