Hyderabad: In a shocking incident, two alleged killers posted a video on Instagram celebrating and bragging about their prowess, after stabbing a person, who himself was an accused in a murder case, at Bachupally on Sunday.
In a short video that was uploaded on Instagram, the two alleged killers, who were later taken into custody, brandished a blood-soaked knife and waved their bloodied hands. In the short video, both were unabashedly celebrating the death of the victim.
While the Instagram reel went viral, the Bachupally police swung into action and managed to arrest the assailants.
According the police, the victim was Teja, who was a co-accused along with rowdy sheeter Mohd Shareef in a murder case that was reported last year at SR Nagar. In that case, Teja, Shareef and another person had allegedly murdered Tarun Roy and were arrested. Just two months ago, Teja was released on bail, the police said.
K Srinivas Rao, Kukatpally Assistant Commissioner of Police, said: Teja was known to the two assailants and came to a party, after being invited by them. “In the party, the victim Teja and the assailants consumed liquor. Later, Teja was stabbed to death with sharp-edged weapons,” he said.
The victim sustained 11 stab wounds on his body and the assailants also hurled a boulder on him.
After killing the victim, the assailants made a video and uploaded to Instagram. The police formed special teams and took at least four persons who were allegedly involved in the murder into custody.
