In a chilling twist, a routine school drop-off in Hyderabad ended in a gruesome murder, revealing a decades-long quest for vengeance. The daylight assassination of G. Venkata Ratnam, a 54-year-old realtor, has sent shockwaves through the city, exposing a dark narrative of betrayal and retribution.
The killing, which took place on a busy road, was initially suspected to be linked to Ratnam's real estate dealings. However, the investigation has uncovered a startling connection to a 1999 police encounter, where Sudesh Singh, the father of the alleged mastermind, Chandan Singh, met his end. Chandan believed that Ratnam, who was Sudesh's driver at the time, had informed the police, leading to his father's death. This perceived betrayal fueled a 26-year-old vendetta.
Chandan's pursuit of justice, or rather revenge, was methodical. He spent years tracking Ratnam, who had relocated to Jawahar Nagar with his family. The surveillance culminated in a meticulously planned attack. CCTV footage captures the moment Ratnam was intercepted by a group of assailants, who arrived on an auto-rickshaw and a motorcycle, blocking his path. The brutal stabbing that followed, witnessed by horrified onlookers, was a public execution, a stark contrast to the quiet residential area.
The swift surrender of six individuals, including Chandan, at the Shahnazgunj Police Station, has shifted the focus to the intricate planning and deep-rooted anger behind the murder. As the investigation unfolds, the case serves as a stark reminder of the enduring impact of past injustices and the lengths to which people will go to seek their version of justice. The Hyderabad police now face the task of piecing together the intricate web of events spanning over two decades to ensure that justice is served.
