TIRUPATI: A 39-year-old man who helped his friend by extending guarantee for the loans he took in the past was murdered by money lenders at CK Dinne in YSR district. The deceased was P Srikanth Reddy, a resident of Utukuru village in CK Dinne mandal.
According to Kadapa rural circle inspector K Ashok Reddy, Srikanth Reddy's friend Sathya Narayana took 20 lakh as loan from A Chaitanya Kumar Reddy and A Leela, both residents of Kadapa.
After Sathya Narayana defaulted on repayment and the money lenders started harassing him, Srikanth Reddy came to his friend's rescue and promised the money lenders that he would return the money if his friend couldn't repay it.
