According to the Deputy Commissioner of Police (South), P Sai Chaitanya, the victim Syed Murtuza Ali Anas was in the office of Lalithabagh corporator when Suleman and Abdul Hamed came and attacked him with a paper cutting knife.

Few months ago, Junaid, Suleman and Hamed had allegedly threatened a woman to vacate a house over issues pertaining to payment of rent. The woman approached the local corporator Azam who reprimanded the trio for harassing the woman and asked them to resolve the issue. It is learnt that, Anas was present when the discussion took place at the corporator’s office and the trio developed a grudge against Anas because he had threatened them.

Suleman went home and along with Hamed came back and attacked Anas who died due to injuries,” said DCP (South), P Sai Chaitanya.
