Hyderabad Sees Bail, Arrests and Two More Murders
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.
Police suspect earlier enmity may have caused the two killings.
A Nampally criminal court granted bail to Mujahid Alam Khan, Dighan Vinay and Manideep “Pogo” Nani in the May 23 murder of Waqf activist and senior advocate Khaja Moizuddin.
Mahbub Alam Khan, another accused in the murder case, had received bail on August 13.
