Police investigations have revealed information that this person was given a cash contract of eight lakh rupees by a man named Saman Kolla, who is considered to be an underworld leader hiding in Dubai, to kill a sub-inspector residing in the same area where the house of the PHI is located.  

According to police sources, the photo of the PHI in uniform has been taken by the shooter instead of the photo of the sub-inspector.  

It is said that the underworld leader named Saman Kolla, who has fled to Dubai and is hiding, has handed over the contract to the underworld shooter, claiming that the person he plans to shoot is a retired police inspector.  

 The police say that he is not a retired police inspector but a sub-inspector who is still in duty.  

It has been further learned from police sources that this contract has been given to kill the police officer because of the seizure of heroin said to belong to the Saman Kolla.
