DCP of Commissioner’s Task Force, P Radhakrishna Rao said, “Rao runs a spices sales business in Secunderabad market area. While he was studying MBA at Navabharathi PG college in Bollaram from 2008 to 2010, he tried to befriend a girl. When she denied his friendship, he bore a grudge against her and was waiting for a chance to defame her. He also accused the Osmania University professors of failing him in the MBA exam. In this regard, he even filed a case in the court against the administration and professors of Osmania University,”

Commissioner further said that that the FSL reports are awaited to know the exact content inside the bottle. As per his plan, a few days ago, Rao prepared 62 bottles and filled it with ‘mud water’ and kept the same at his shop’s premises.
