Tirupati: A man was killed and five others suffered injuries after they were attacked by a group of people in a property dispute at Musunuru village of Kavali mandal in Nellore district on Friday.

According to Kavali deputy superintendent of police M. Venkataramana, Suresh had recently purchased a house from one Pulla Subba Reddy in Kavali mandal.

The DSP said Suresh suffered severe injuries. He was rushed to the hospital where doctors declared him brought dead.
Police have registered a case and formed teams to arrest the accused involved in the attack.
