Hyderabad: A history sheeter was murdered allegedly by a group of persons at Rajendranagar on Friday night.
The victim Sarwar, against whom a history sheet is maintained at Attapur police station, was called to an isolated place by a rowdy sheeter, Mohd Ghouse alias Khoni Ghouse to discuss some issues.
“During the discussion, there was a heated argument between them and Ghouse, and some other persons stabbed Sarwar to death with a knife. The body was later dumped in a nearby nala,” said Rajendranagar Inspector, B Nagendra Babu.
On information, the Rajendranagar police rushed to the spot and shifted the body to Osmania General Hospital mortuary for post-mortem examination. A case was registered against Ghouse and special teams were formed to capture the suspects.
