In 2005, five individuals, Shivarathri Mallesh, Shivarathri Ravi, Gollem Nampally, Dundugula Laxman, and Shivarathri Hanmanthu, all residents of Telangana's Rajanna Sircilla district, were working in Dubai when they were accused of murder of a Nepali national, who used to work as a watchman in the Gulf nation. They were charged and then handed 25 years of prison sentences.
KTR took it upon himself to champion their cause and tirelessly advocated for their release through diplomatic channels. In 2011, he visited Nepal and met with the victim's family, presenting them with financial compensation of Rs 15 lakh.
