Vijayawada/Hyderabad: Overcome by grief after his kidnapped nine-year-old daughter was killed, a prominent liquor businessman died on Tuesday within hours after suffering a heart attack on hearing the news of her death.
A massive public outcry across Andhra Pradesh followed the death of P Prabhakar and Naga Vyshnavi in Vijayawada and the state government was considering setting up a fast-track court to try the case of the "gruesome" murder of the girl.
Prabhakar, who suffered a cardiac arrest on Monday after hearing the tragic news, died Tuesday morning at a private hospital in Vijaywada where he was admitted, hospital sources
said.
The businessman was in an unconscious condition since the moment he was admitted to the hospital and was on ventilator support, the sources said.
Vyshnavi was abducted on January 30 for the second time in six years while she was going to school along with her brother in a car. The kidnappers killed the car driver, who tried to resist them, while the girl's brother managed to escape from their clutches.
The burnt body of Vyshnavi was found in a boiler inside a factory at Autonagar in Guntur, 60 km from Vijaywada on Monday. She was believed to have been murdered on January 30 itself.
Police has taken into custody Venkat Rao Goud and Srinivasa Rao, relatives of Prabhakar, and two local history sheeters in connection with the girl's kidnap and killing.
Addressing a press conference in Hyderabad after a high-level review meeting with Home Minister P Sabita Reddy and DGP R R Girish Kumar, Chief Minister K Rosaiah said
rather than trying the case under Criminal Procedure Code in the normal course the government is planning to set up a fast-track court to ensure speedy disposal of the case.
