Hyderabad: The Kukatpally Police have arrested three men for allegedly murdering Syed Shahed, a 26-year-old businessman and known rowdy sheeter from Borabanda. The accused were produced before the court for judicial custody.

Victim was a known offender

The deceased, Syed Shahed, son of late Syed Waheed, ran a clothing business and was involved in multiple criminal activities. Police said he had ongoing rivalries with other local rowdy sheeters, including one of the accused, Sameer Khan.

Accused identified

The arrested individuals have been identified as Y Hanak alias Munna (25), a private employee from Baba Sailani Nagar, Borabanda; Md Sajid (24), an AC technician from Moula Ali; and Md Sameer Khan alias Dagad Sameer alias Pothuraju (25), a false ceiling worker from Borabanda.

Murder planned over rivalry

According to police, the three accused, who were close associates of Shahed, conspired to eliminate him to establish their dominance in the area. Their rivalry had recently intensified, and Shahed had also posted provocative content on social media targeting Sameer.

On June 29, taking advantage of their mutual friend Pavan’s birthday, the accused lured Shahed to an open ground behind Dev Istana Homes in Prakash Nagar. After consuming liquor together, Sajid allegedly slit Shahed’s throat with a broken bottle while Munna and Sajid smashed his head with stones, leading to his death.

Seizures from crime scene

Police seized wine bottles from the crime scene, stones bearing blood stains, the accused persons’ blood-stained clothes, and their mobile phones used for planning and communication.

Previous cases

Further investigation revealed that Sameer Khan has a criminal history with cases registered against him for theft, cheating, stalking and murder at Jubilee Hills, Sanathnagar, SR Nagar and Bachupally police stations, respectively. He is also listed as a rowdy sheeter at Borabanda police station.

A special team comprising the inspector and sub-inspectors of Kukatpally police station, under the supervision of senior officers, investigated the case and arrested the accused within a short span of time.

ā€œThe swift and coordinated efforts of the investigation team ensured the arrest of all accused involved, maintaining public order,ā€ said K. Suresh Kumar, DCP Balanagar Zone, Cyberabad.
