Ongole Salon Murder: A shocking murder took place in Ongole after a salon employee was allegedly attacked for refusing entry to an intoxicated customer. The incident occurred at a salon located on the 60 Feet Road near the RTC Bus Stand.

The victim, identified as 30 year old Mahendra, was working at Srinivasa Salon when Nagineni Ramarao, a resident of Neethivaripalem village in Kondapi mandal, arrived at the shop on Thursday evening. According to police, Ramarao was under the influence of alcohol when he attempted to enter the salon.

Mahendra reportedly stopped him from entering because of his intoxicated condition.

Local residents rushed Mahendra to a nearby hospital, where doctors declared him dead on arrival. The accused was also assaulted by bystanders before being shifted to the Government General Hospital for treatment.
