Hyderabad: A 22-year-old Sudanese national, who was here on an education visa, was allegedly stabbed to death on the night of August 14 by another Sudanese national, after a quarrel over disturbing the latter’s privacy at his home.
The victim, Abdul Basheer alias Rashes, died after being stabbed allegedly by Abdul Afroz at P & T Colony in Rajendranagar.
