Wife suspects colleague
Doddamuniyappa’ wife said she suspected the involvement of another worker, Ashok, in her husband’s death.
Her husband would often tell her that he was tortured by Ashok, she said and added: “My husband was soft spoken and a teetotaller, and the police should arrest the culprit who murdered him.”
