The city police have arrested 5 persons for brutally murdering a man near the King Kothi Hospital at Narayanguda.
The city police on Thursday took 5 persons into custody for brutally murdering a man near the King Kothi Hospital at Narayanguda. The police stated that the accused have confessed their involvement in the murder.
According to Deputy Commissioner Of Police (Central Zone) Akun Sabharwal, the arrests were made on the basis of the evidence collected and the accounts given by the eye witnesses.
On Thursday, about 6 persons, armed with knives and daggers, had assaulted one Syed Sohail in the premises of the King Kothi Hospital at Narayanaguda. The victim, a 28-year-old man, was a resident of the Masab Tank area.
Sohail had succumbed to his injuries on the spot.
Eye witnesses to the incident stated that the deceased had called out the names of some of the attackers. One of Sohail's associates, Shaik Ahmed, was also accompanying him.
Based on the information, a case under sections 147, 148 and 302, read with 149 IPC and 25(1)(A) of the Arms Act, had been registered at the Narayanaguda police station, and an investigation into the case was taken up. Commissioner Of Police A K Khan had visited the crime scene to supervise the investigation.
The investigation revealed that the murder was a result of a rivalry between 2 groups over land and monetary matters.
This murder, Dr. Sabharwal said, is a sequel to 2 other offences which had occurred in the Rajendranagar area in February and July 2010.
The deceased was the prime accused in the murder of one Syed Jaffar Hussain which had occurred on July 20, 2010, near the Himayath Sagar lake, Rajendranagar.
Syed Jaffar Hussain, in turn, was the prime accused in the murder of one Syed Haji which had taken place on February 12, 2010, at Indira Nagar.
Amongst the 5 arrested, Syed Hyder Hussain is said to be the leader of the group and the main conspirator.
He is the elder brother of Syed Jaffar Hussain who was allegedly murdered by the deceased and 8 others.
The police stated that 4 daggers, 3 knives and 1 axe were seized along with the vehicles used for the gory deed by the assailants.
"The weapons will be forwarded for forensic study," Dr. Sabharwal said, and added that further investigations were on. (INN)
