Andhra Pradesh Police identify body found in parcel sent to family in West Godavari
Hindustan TimesThe police on Monday established the identity of a decomposed body of a man that was dispatched in a box to a family in West Godavari district. On December 19, the corpse of the 45-year-old man was delivered to Mudunuri Rangaraju’s home at Yendagandi village in the district in a wooden box, with a ransom letter demanding over ₹one crore. “He used to consume alcohol daily, which led to frequent quarrels with his wife and they had been living separately since 15 years,” West Godavari superintendent of police Adnan Nayeem Asmi told PTI, adding that later Parlayya lived like a tramp on the roadside and at temples. Based on the clothing found on the deceased person’s body, relatives and neighbours identified him while police are also proceeding with a DNA test to further solidify the established identity with documentary evidence.
