Visakhapatnam, Feb 10, 2011: Murdered jeweller Grandhi Manoj Kumar was supposed to go to Mumbai to supervise the arrangements for an advertisement shoot featuring actor Shruthi Haasan that was scheduled for February 17.
As part of his company, Vaibhav Empire Pvt Ltd’s expansion plans, Grandhi wanted to open five outlets across the state and one in Bengaluru for which he had signed the actor for an advertisement campaign, said his close associate and business partner Mr Kankatala Mallik, who rushed to Bengaluru as he came to know that Grandhi had missed a 10 am appointment on Wednesday in Mumbai.
In fact, it was for the jewellery that Shruthi would wear in the advertisement that Grandhi had gone to Jaipur. He was carrying three bags of jewellery when he left his hotel at Bengaluru to go to the airport to catch his flight to Mumbai.
Mr Mallik said that Grandhi had landed in Bengaluru from Jaipur on Monday and checked into a star hotel in the morning. At about 10 am, he had visited a jewellery exhibition and later in the day he met local jewellery merchants and discussed his expansion plans.
Mr Mallik said the cab driver who was part of the gang that killed Grandhi had been with him since he had landed in Bengaluru.
Grandhi’s body would be brought to the city on Friday and will be kept at Vaibhav showroom before cremation.
