Missing forex manager’s body found in Nalgonda

The mystery behind the missing manager of a private forex company in the city was unravelled with the police tracing his body in Nalgonda district.

Police said the young manager was strangled to death. Later, acid was poured on him on the same day he went missing from the house. Police suspect the victim might have been killed by some persons known to him as they have robbed him of the Rs 5 lakh cash he was carrying.

The manager of FCEH Centrum Forex company based at Somajiguda, G Chaitanya (32), was a resident of Syndicate Bank colony in Old

Bowenpally.

Chaitanya left home late in the night on October 6 on his two-wheeler with Rs 5 lakh cash telling his family members that he had to deliver the money to some customers near a garden at Bowenpally.

As Chaitanya did not return home even by morning and could not be contacted over phone, his family members lodged a missing case with the city police the next day.

Investigating into the case, police found Chaitanya’s Honda Activa in

the parking lot at Ammuguda railway station.

Meanwhile, police today found a person’s body with similar features of Chaitanya near an isolated place at Chikatimamidi village under Bommalaramaram police station limits in neighbouring Nalgonda district.

Bommalaramaram police said the body was found on October 7 with strangulation marks on his neck. “The assailants later poured acid on the body of the victim,’’ police said.

City police went to Nalgonda today and identified the victim as Chaitanya.

Police suspect some persons who were aware that Chaitanya was carrying cash with him would have taken him to Bommalaramaram and killed him after robbing him.
