The Tenali police in Guntur district have formed special teams to nab the man wanted in the suspicious death of a 13-year-old girl in Kothareddypalem village of Chebrolu mandal.
The suspect, identified as Nagaraju, is absconding ever since the body of the girl was found under suspicious circumstances at his residence in the village, said investigating officers. Nagaraju works as an LPG cylinder delivery boy in the village.
