In an important development, police recovered the car allegedly used in the murder near Ibrahimpatnam on the suburb on Wednesday night. Officials, while examining the surveillance camera footage from the crime scene route, found that the vehicle had been abandoned there and seized it.

Moizuddin, a resident of Shantinagar in Red Hills, was allegedly killed on May 23 after assailants in a pre-planned murder rammed a car into him near his residence. Investigation revealed an alleged conspiracy linked to a long-standing dispute over Waqf lands.

According to sources, a leader from Congress party and an educational institutions operator allegedly pressured the victim over a land dispute. Police now suspect that the main conspirators hired Kishan Singh through middlemen to eliminate the advocate.

The suspect allegedly planned the murder as a staged road accident and involved his associates in executing it.

Police are reportedly questioning the Congress leader in custody to gather more details about the conspiracy and financial transactions linked to the contract killing.
