Police later registered case under IPC Section 307 and various sections of the Arms Act before producing the accused before a court. He was remanded to judicial custody.
A 50 year-old-man was found murdered at Ghatkesar on Wednesday morning. The deceased, B. Anjaneuyulu, a member of Pochampally Handlooms Cooperative Society, had gone out of his house on some work on Tuesday night but did not return, police said.
