Police Arrest Four in Mogalthuru Moneylender Murder Case
Grandhi Bobby was a moneylender who lived alone in Mogalthuru.

They allegedly took money and jewellery from his home.
Neighbours noticed a bad smell on June 17 and alerted Bobby’s son.
Because the body had decomposed, people first thought Bobby had died naturally.
A drunken confession reportedly led to the discovery that he had been murdered.
His son then went to the police.
Police arrested four people and seized silver, cash and a car.
