Edavalli Srinivas Reddy and A-4 Gangapuram Swamy are the Ex-Naxalites who

previously worked in different organizations of CPI (ML) Maoist and CPI (ML)

Janashakthi groups. Of them, the A-1 Pittala Srinivas @ Srinanna along with his

wife Pushpa worked in Janashakthi group from 1994 to 1996 and he was the C.O of

Palakurthi &Thorrur mandals. The A-2 Vallala Naga Mallaiah @ Mallesh had

worked as strong militant of CPI (ML) Maoist group(PWG) from1986 to1990.

Initially, heworked in Radical organization for about three years and then

assisted to the Alair Guerilla squad for a period of one year. After that, he also

from 1991 to 1997 as C.O of Mothkur, Athmakur (M) and Gundala areas of

erstwhile Nalgonda district. The A-4 Gangapuram Swamy also worked in same

group as C.O of Devaruppala and Kodakandla areas of erstwhile Warangal

district. After their tenure in the above extremist groups, the A-1 to A-4 were

surrendered before the Police who in turn bounded them over before the Mandal

In fact, the A-1 to A-4 got acquainted to each other while they were working in

the similar and banned extremist organizations. After departing from the extremist

groups, they attended labour work here and there in different areas in Hyderabad

City, but they could not succeed economically. As such, at present, the A-1 Pittala

Srinivas @ Srinanna has been making the idols at his native village Chennur of

Palakurthi mandal, whereas the A-2 Vallala Naga Mallaiah, A-3 Edavalli Srinivas

Reddy have been doing real estate business and the A-4 Gangapuram Swamy

working as driver. However, having experienced in criminal intimidations and

extortions during their tenure in extremists field, the

A-1, A-2 and A-4 have indulged in various criminal cases after their departure from

the banned extremist organizations.

Likewise, during the year 2019, the A-1 Pittala Srinivas and A-4 Gangapuram

Swamy along with other their associates committed a dacoity under the limits

of Kodakandla PS, in which they threatened the wine shop people at the point of

During the year 2016, the A-2 Vallala Naga Mallaiah has murdered one

Saduvelli Kamalakar Rao of Yadagirigutta town suspecting him to be the main

person and instigator for the love & inter-caste marriage of his daughter. This is the

subject matter of Cr.No.82/2016 U/s 302 IPC of PS Yadagirigutta. But, after

releasing from the jail in the above case, the A-2 Vallala Naga Mallaiah suspected

that the sons of Saduvelli Kamalakar Rao (deceased in the above murder case)

intent to do him away at any account in retaliation to the murder of their father.

Moreover, he has also an issue with others in respect of his open house plot to an

extent of (238) square yards located in Pathagutta road, Yadagirigutta.

As such, once the A-2 met with A-3 Edavalli Srinivas Reddy @ Chandranna and

sought his help to get rid off from his problems. Then, the A-3 referred his matter to

the A-1 Pittala Srinivas @ Srinanna who is active in making of settlements and

manufacturing of country made weapons. On hearing the issue of A-2 Vallala Naga

Mallaiah and at his request, the A-1 Pittala Srinivas assured him to get his land issue

settled, apart from providing him a country made weapon for the purpose of self

protection & threatening to his targeted people. For which, the A-1 has asked the A-

2 to give him an amount of Five Lakhs Rupees towards his expenditure and for

purchasing of required weapons. Accordingly, the A-2 has given him an amount of

One Lakh Rupees in two instalments towards advance.

Meanwhile, the A-4 Gangapuram swamy@ Mallesh who is in regular contact

with the A-1 Pittala Srinivas & A-3 Edavalli Srinivas Reddy also joined with them.

Since the accused A-1 to A-4 are having well experience in extremist activities, all of

them together hatched a plan to extort money from the realtors in the surrounding

area of Yadagirigutta and Hyderabad City under the guise of Naxalites belongs to

CPI (ML) Maoist group, as the real estate boom in these areas is growing fast.

According to their plan, the A-1 has prepared letter heads on the name of

‘BHARATHA COMMUNIST MAOIST PARTY ZONAL COMMITTEE, TELANGANA

RASHTRAM’ and got the same printed by the A-5 at a computer center.

The A-1 Pittala Srinivas is mastermind in manufacturing of country made

weapons. He manufactures the country made Tapanchas and alters the Air pistols

and Air revolvers. During this process, he uses to purchase required Air pistols and

Air Revolvers along with required cartridges and pellets by online. Then, he converts

them into revolvers & pistols by making necessary alterations. Since the A-1 is in

the profession of making the idols of various prominent people and gods etc., he also

got enough experience in manufacturing of country made firearms and ammunition

by using the (20) grams & (40) grams brass weights. Thus, the A-1 Pittala Srinu

agreed to manufacture the country made weapons, whereas the A-4 agreed to

arrange the rounds of country made Tapancha which he acquired while he was

working in the extremists.

According to their plan, the A-1 Pittala Srinivas @ Srinanna has recently

prepared three weapons i.e. a Country made Tapancha, converted Air Pistol and Air

Revolver (gas revolver) and handed over the same along with other material meant

for the making of firearms and ammunition to the A-2 VallaNaga Mallaiah. Further,

the A-4 Gangapuram Swamy also brought a live round of country made weapon and

handed over the same to the A-2 who in turn kept the same in his house at

Pathagutta road, Yadagirigutta.

Today i.e., on 06.11.2021at morning hours, on receipt of credible information

that the A-1 to A-4 gathered at the house of A-2 at Yadagirigutta and they were

under preparation for committing a cognizable offence, the sleuths of SOT Bhongir

zone with the help of Yadagirigutta town Police caught them in possession of three

illegal firearms, ammunition along with other material.

The above arrests were made under the supervision of Sri Mahesh M
