Accordingly three more people were arrested in the murder case of Florida based NRI businessman Chigurupati Jayaram with the Hyderabad police saying that they took two rowdy sheeters and a third person, who used to work for main accused Rakesh Reddy, into custody. Meanwhile the accused have been identified as Vishal, Nagesh and Subhash Reddy.
When speaking to reporters, Deputy Commissioner of Police A.R. Srinivas said that Vishal and Nagesh were rowdy sheeters living under the jurisdiction of the S R Nagar Police Station and were involved in killing Jayaram in his flat. Furthermore the police said that Rakesh Reddy hired Vishal and the two of them throttled Jayaram before smothering him with a pillow. Reports added Nagesh on the other hand, reportedly recorded videos of Jayaram when he was being illegally confined in Hyderabad, in a bid to extort money from his family.
Moreover the DCP told the media that they had recovered the videos shot on the accuser’s mobile phones and Subhash on the other hand, had bought a SIM card under his name and gave it to Rakesh. Hence he was also in possession of the videos after Rakesh sent them to him, but did not reveal this to investigation officials.

She said that after the murder some key documents and valuables were missing.
