Deputy Commissioner of Police (south) P Sai Chaitanya said Mahmood had lent Rs. 3,000 to the victim Afroz, three months ago, and demanded the amount be returned as promised earlier.

“Afroz did not return the money which annoyed Mahmood. Further Mahmood came to know that Afroz was spreading rumours against him in public. On Friday night, Mahmood with the help of Waseem killed Afroz at Tadban cross roads,” said the DCP.

Mahmood is a listed offender and involved in six cases earlier. He is a rowdy sheeter of Falaknuma police station.
