Hyderabad: One Suresh allegedly stabbed his neighbour Shankar in the neck, the LB Nagar police said on Saturday. There were different versions as to how the incident occurred.
LB Nagar circle inspector L. Ramanjaneyulu said the stabbing occurred when Hanumanthu, a neighbour, entered the house of one Kalamma's house along with a few men. She called for her brother Suresh, who went to the place and a fight broke out between him and the intruder.
Suresh and Hanumanthu both called their friends. Shankar responded to Hanumanthu’s call. Suresh threw a knife towards Hanumanthu, but it hit Shankar, Ramanjaneyulu said. Shankar was taken to a hospital.
