According to the police, Fahad Balkhashar died after the two suspects allegedly assaulted him with a stick and later stabbed him with a knife at his residence near Madina Plastic Godown in Mariyam Colony, Kothapet, at around 2.40 am on July 6. He was rushed to Owaisi Hospital, where doctors pronounced him dead.

Police attribute the murder to a financial dispute between the victim and the suspects. However, sources said the dispute is also believed to be linked to certain content stored on a mobile phone, which has since been seized by investigators for forensic examination.
