A man was hacked to death in full public view by four unidentified persons in Andhra Pradesh's Kadapa district on Thursday, police said.
The shocking incident occurred near a court in Produttur town. The assailants repeatedly stabbed the man in the middle of the road as people watched in horror. Nobody came forward to save the victim.
The man, identified as B Maruti Reddy (32), was attacked by four persons as soon as he got down from an auto-rickshaw. He tried to escape but fell down near the road divider. The assailants pounced on him and stabbed him repeatedly.
Reddy reportedly split from his wife two years ago, and had been fighting the case in court. Reports state that he fell in love with another woman whose family is suspected to be behind the murder, as The News Minute reported.
The video shows a man holding Reddy down, while another stabbed him 11 times. Police rushed to the spot as soon as they were informed.
Reddy is reportedly a relative of Andhra minister Adi Narayana.
