According to the police, Rajesh, a resident of Izzat Nagar in Madhapur, was working as a construction worker at a site in Bachupally. Around midnight on Wednesday, Rajesh, who allegedly went to the eatery for food was attacked by the suspects, who were celebrating Aravind’s birthday and having a liquor party, in the basement of the restaurant.
“On seeing them, Rajesh requested if they could give him some leftover food. They say they thought he was a thief and started abusing and thrashing him. He suffered multiple injuries and collapsed,” police said, adding that the men then left the place, leaving him unconscious in the basement.
