Jana Sena Expels Kota Vinutha After Arrest in Driver’s Murder

Her expulsion follows her arrest for murdering her driver over alleged leaks of sensitive political information.

A woman dressed in a white saree with a pink border is seated at a wooden desk, hands clasped, smiling confidently. She has a red bindi on her forehead and is wearing gold bangles and earrings. Behind her is a large flag featuring the Janasena Party symbol—red and white stripes with a red circle and white star in the center. A small Janasena flag is placed on the desk to her left, and a neat stack of files is on her right. The background includes a large, cheering crowd, adding to the political tone of the image.

Overview

  • Five accused—including Kota Vinutha, her husband Chandrababu and three aides—remain in custody after their July 12 arrests in Chennai.
  • Authorities say the group strangled CH Srinivasulu (Rayudu) in Srikalahasti and dumped his body in Chennai’s Koovam River for concealment.
  • Investigators used CCTV footage and tattoos reading “Jana Sena” and “Vinutha” on the victim’s hand to confirm his identity and the suspects’ involvement.
  • Post-mortem findings showed multiple injuries and strangulation marks, aligning with the suspects’ confessions of a violent killing.
  • Jana Sena removed Kota from party ranks on July 13 as a cross-jurisdictional inquiry advances toward formal charges.
