Noted Telugu film producer C Kalyan, who was suspected for his alleged links with Bhanu Kiran, the prime accused in the murder of Rayalaseema faction leader Maddelacheruvu Suri, has gone underground, after the CID police arrested his fellow producer Singanamala Ramesh.
Kalyan, who produced noted film maker Ram Gopal Varma’s controversial film Raktha Charitra, filed a petition in the Nampally criminal courts on Tuesday, seeking anticipatory bail to pre-empt arrest by the CID police. The petition is expected to come up for hearing on Wednesday.
The CID police, who sought 10-day police custody of Ramesh, are on the look out for Kalyan as well, as both of them had close association with Bhanu.
Preliminary investigations revealed that Bhanu and his accomplice Madhumohan Reddy (who was driving the vehicle in which Suri was shot dead) hold the accounts in the same bank branch along with Kalyan and Singanamala Ramesh.
“It may not be accidental that all these accounts are in the same branch. We are probing into the nexus between the Rayalaseema gangsters and the Telugu film industry,” police sources said.
During earlier investigations, Kalyan reportedly told the police that Bhanu was only a financial coordinator and had helped him and Varma to identify the locations for film shooting in Anantapur and Hyderabad.
However, the police suspect that Bhanu might be providing finances to several films in the Telugu film industry.
