The deceased was identified as Avula Ashok (28), a daily wage worker in the temple town living at Patalaganga Road, and a native of Markapuram in Prakasam district. According to the police, the two accused were also living in Srisailam and earn livelihood by applying ‘bottu’ (tilak) to the devotees.
