Several serious crime cases were reported in Hyderabad.

A court granted bail to three people accused in the murder of advocate and Waqf activist Khaja Moizuddin.

Another accused in that case had already received bail.

Police also arrested two autorickshaw drivers accused of abducting and sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl.

Police said the girl was blindfolded and kept at a house.

The two accused were sent to judicial custody.

The girl was referred for counselling and her statement was recorded.

Two men, including autorickshaw driver Abdul Raof, were killed in separate stabbing incidents within about 12 hours.
