KHAMMAM: Police have cracked the mystery behind the death of YouTuber Boggula Srinivas, 48, whose body was found in the Palair reservoir in the district on February 15, and announced the arrest of four persons. He stated that Srinivas was stabbed to death by a ‘supari’ gang hired by his friend Mekala Venumadhav Reddy. Between 2022 and 2025, fake invoices and sales worth about Rs 90 lakh were reportedly generated using the Boggula BBQ GST number. Police said that following mounting financial pressure and disputes, Venumadhav Reddy allegedly conspired to eliminate Srinivas and struck a deal with a ‘supari’ gang. After the murder, the accused allegedly transported the body in a car, pushed the vehicle into the Palair reservoir to make it appear as an accidental drowning.
