Local police arrived at the spot immediately and rushed the two men to a government hospital where they were declared as brought dead.

Police said old enmity between Prasad Reddy and his relative Parthasarathi Reddy was the reason for the shooting. Both K Sivaprasad Reddy and Parthasarathy Reddy lived opposite each other in Nallapureddy Palle village in Pulivendula Mandal, Pulivendula Urban Police Station Circle Inspector Bhaskar Reddy said.

Police officials also said that Parathasarathy had eccentric nature and used to fight with villagers.

Parthasarathy and Sivaprasad had some old grudges against each other which led to a serious quarrel between the two men. YSRCP leader owned a licensed weapon through which he killed his relative and then killed himself with the same gun.

"Today at around 8 am, Parthasarathy tried to attack Sivaprasad's son with a sickle. A furious Sivaprasad used his licensed gun to shoot Parthasarathy, who died on the spot. Sivaprasad then committed suicide by shooting himself," the police official said.

Police have sent both bodies to the Pulivendula government general hospital for postmortem. Also, a case has been registered under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Meanwhile, further legal procedures will be followed in the matter.
