Hyderabad: A 21-year-old Mohd Khaleem was brutally murdered at Langar Houz late Sunday night. According to police, brothers-in-law were behind the murder, as they were against his marriage with their sister Sannayya. Police formed five special teams to nab the accused.
CCTV footage accessed showed that when the accused first attacked Khaleem,
he tried to escape. But he was chased on the road and stabbed to death. DCP
west zone Joel Davis said the case is under investigation and the accused
would be arrested soon.
Khaleem, a college dropout, from Uppal and Sannayya from Moti darwaza, were
distant relatives and in a relationship for over a year. Last March, they
fled to Mumbai where they got married. On their return to the city, they
were staying at Khaleem’s house in Uppal.
Sannayya’s family and her brothers Saeef and Waseem were against the
marriage.
However, they continued living together. Meanwhile, on Sunday night, her
brothers called up Khaleem and asked him to come to their home near Moti
darwaza in Golconda, to look for a rented house, so that they could shift
there.
When Khaleem met his brothers-in-law, they picked up an argument with him
and tried to attack him. When he tried to escape they chased and stabbed him
multiple times, killing him on the spot.
