A 25-year-old man, identified as Billapram Nagaraju, died on the spot after he was attacked by assailants at Saroornagar on Wednesday evening.
According to the Saroornagar police, the victim was going with his wife Syed Ashrin Begum (23) on his bike when the assailants attacked him with a dagger. The accused, the man’s brother-in-law and his relative, pushed him to the ground and beat him up indiscriminately with rods and stabbed him with a knife, resulting in his spot death, police said.
Police said Nagaraju was repeatedly stabbed with the crowbar before his head was smashed in full public view. They added Nagaraju’s wife, Syed Ashrin Sultana, 23, was also beaten as she tried to stop the attackers.
Nagaraju died on the spot while Sultana was injured as the accused fled the spot. Police said they scanned CCTV footage before arresting one of the accused, Sultana’s brother Mubeen.
“We have gathered evidence from the spot and are questioning the accused. Further details will be shared after the investigation,” said assistant police commissioner P Sreedhar Reddy.
Meanwhile, the BJP leaders in Telangana have called for strict action against the family of Sultana. Telangana BJP MLA Raja Singh has called for the arrest of everyone involved in the planning and execution of the murder.
“Was it the family members, or did some religious groups advise the family? Did some group promise them financial help? There should be a full-fledged inquiry into this murder,” Raja Singh demanded.
