HYDERABAD: A day after the murder of an advocate, G Swapna, over a property dispute at Kethireddypally village in Moinabad mandal, police on Thursday arrested her brother and three others in connection with the killing. Chevella DCP Yogesh Gautam said her elder brother, G Raju, conspired to eliminate her to grab four acres of land. On Wednesday morning, after learning that Swapna and her mother were conducting a land survey, her brother, along with three associates, went to the field and attacked her with a sickle. After confirming her death, the accused fled the scene. Several advocates at courts in the area staged a protest in front of the Moinabad police station, demanding justice.
