Bandmaster Stabbed to Death For Questioning Neighbour's Raw Chicken Feast

Hyderabad: A man consuming raw chicken stabbed 23-year-old bandmaster M. Ajay to death and his wife Priyanka sustained injuries when the couple questioned him on Monday, Tukaramgate police said. The couple was celebrating Sankranti festival with their friends when they noticed a neighbour, Srinivas Chary, consuming the chicken in front of their house.

When the couple questioned Srinivas Chary, he stabbed Ajay with a knife. Chary also stabbed Priyanka who tried to intervene, and fled. Police later took Chary into custody. They said he had been “behaving abnormally” for the past few days.

Ajay succumbed to injuries on the way to hospital while Priyanka is being treated at a private hospital.

An inebriated man vandalised a statue of Telangana ideologue Prof. Jayashankar at Yellammabanda in Serilingampally’s Allwyn Colony on Tuesday. Police identified him as Govind of Mahaveer Colony. Kukatpally sub-inspector Sagar said that police personnel at the spot tried to stop him. “Since he was in a drunken state, forcibly taking him into custody would be risky. So the personnel waited for a while till Govind calmed down and then took him into custody.” Police sent him to a hospital to evaluate the alcohol content in his blood.

“We will question him after he sobers up,” said Sagar. Police booked a case of destroying government property and under the public nuisance Act, he said.
