No romance angle to Sanjay murder, car seized, 4 held.
Hyderabad: The police has cracked techie Sanjay Junge's murder. It was not a love affair or enmity but a quarrel that took place in the car on the way from Punjagutta to Swapnalok complex that led to the brutal murder.
Police seized the vehicle and arrested four persons. Police said that after Sanjay’s friend dropped him at Punjagutta, some people offered him a lift to Secunderabad.
The four people in the car who were drunk got into an argument with Sanjay. Later, he got down from the car near Swapnalok and the men in the car attacked him. Police said the car owner changed its number plate from BOSS to 8055 on Friday.
The killers were identified as Mubassir, who is also accused in a rape case, driver Khireej and two others named Salman and Musharaf. Sources said the car with the number AP 15AQ 8055 was registered in Adilabad district, but a few months ago a consultant named Imroze Ali from the Old City area purchased it.
On Wednesday night Mubassir took the car on rent and along with his three friends went to Hi-tech city. While returning at around 2 am and passing through Punja-gutta they saw Sanjay and offered him a lift.
On the way, Mubassir got a call and Sanjay passed some comments. Mubassir got angry and that led to a scuffle. Sanjay and Mubassir fought. Reaching Patny they asked Sanjay to get down, but he refused and asked them to drop him near his father's shop on RP Road.
At Patny, Sanjay irritated them again and they forcibly expelled him from the car near Swapnalok and beat him up.
In turn Sanjay started clicking their pictures and that of the car. Fearing a threat from the pictures, Mubassir took out his knife and stabbed Sanjay. Later, the gang fled to Old City.
On Thursday night, they handed over the car to the owner, who saw the reports of a car with number written as BOSS on news and changed it to a normal number plate.
Based on mobile records, police arrested Musharraf and Khireej in Old City on Friday midnight. Mubassir and Salman were caught in Shamshabad on Friday evening. However, the police is yet to confirm the arrests.
