Samad Bin Shimlan (39) was with his friend Khalid when some persons chased and attacked them indiscriminately leading to multiple injuries to Samad.

Hyderabad: A group of history sheeters brutally stabbed a man to death while injuring three others over gang rivalry in old city on Tuesday night. Incidentally, the incident happened barely 100 metres away from the Kalapather police station.

The victim Faqruddin alias Shimlan (39), a resident of Basharathnagar, was attacked with lethal weapons by Asad and Anwar, rowdy sheeters of Kalapather police station, along with 12 to 15 others, near Fatima Hospital on Kalapather main road.

“Faqruddin collapsed on the road due to the bleeding wounds inflicted on him by the assailants. He was rushed to hospital where doctors pronounced him dead,” said Shahalibanda Inspector, S Ravi Kumar.

Before attacking Faqruddin, Asad and his gang had attacked two others, Wajid and Qadeer, leading to fatal injuries to them. “Wajid is a close associate of Shahnoor Ghazi, who was murdered in 2020 by Asad and others. The victim Faqruddin is a cousin of Wajid and Qadeer and the trio were moving together,” said the police.

Jurisdiction Issues:

However, soon after the murder, there was confusion over the jurisdiction of the spot where the incidents took place.

While Wajid went to Kalapather police station and made a complaint about a murderous attack on him, the police allegedly failed to respond properly and reach the spot where Faqruddin was attacked, a few minutes later.

Faqruddin’s family members complained that until Wednesday morning, the police did not register a case due to jurisdictional confusion. The murder occurred around 2 am and the complaint was received at Shahalibanda police station at 5.30 a.m.

“For almost two to three hours the police did not tell us where we have to lodge the complaint. The body was lying on the spot for more than half an hour and police did not respond,” alleged Syed Afzaluddin, brother of Faqruddin.

The police formed special teams to nab the persons who are involved in the case.
