According to the police, the four had killed the victim Salman Khan following an argument earlier in the day over stealing of goats.
Ameer had met Salman Khan and asked about a few goats belonging to his relative Farzana Begum that were stolen some days ago.
“Khan took objection to him being asked about the goats and threatened Ameer and his friends. Fearing that he might kill them on getting an opportunity, Ameer, Mahboob, Zameer and Sohail, on pretext of sorting out the issue, took him in a car on Sunday night and stabbed him to death using a knife,” Balapur Inspector B Bhaskar said.
Khan’s body was found in a car parked at Green City Shaheennagar late on Sunday night.
