Commissioner of Police, K.Suresh Kumar, said Syed Shahed was a notorious rowdy sheeter with a history of criminal activities. He was into cloth business and was having rivalry with Sameer. Syed Shahed posted the same on social media.
The three arrested persons, who were close associates of the deceased, hatched a criminal conspiracy to eliminate Syed Shahed in order to usurp his influence and establish themselves as local rowdy sheeters.
