In a major verdict, a court in Andhra Pradesh on Friday awarded the death penalty to five men convicted in the 2015 double murder of former Chittoor Mayor Katari Anuradha and her husband Katari Mohan.
The gruesome incident took place on November 17, 2015, inside the Chittoor Municipal Corporation office, shocking the entire state.
The prime accused, Sriram Chandrasekhar, who is Mohan’s nephew, was found guilty along with four others — Govinda Swami Srinivasaiah Venkatachalapathy (alias Venkatesh), Jayaprakash Reddy (alias Jayareddy), Manjunath (alias Manju), and Muniratnam Venkatesh.
According to the investigation, the accused entered the office disguised in burqas and brutally attacked the couple with knives and daggers, later shooting Katari Anuradha. Police confirmed that the attack stemmed from a long-standing family dispute.
Ahead of the verdict, authorities implemented tight security measures, allowing only court staff inside the premises and prohibiting public gatherings, rallies, or celebrations to maintain law and order.
This verdict brings closure to a case that had remained one of the most shocking political murders in recent Andhra Pradesh history.
