On October 18, the 26-year-old man was taken to a liquor party in neighbouring Nalgonda district by his uncle, where he was served alcohol and then strangled to death using a rope by the gang, they said on Wednesday.
His body was then dumped in Musi river in Suryapet district, which was found the next day.
The parents of the victim turned up to claim the body only after 10 days, they added.
However, investigation began as to why the parents did not complain to police about their missing son.
