Hyderabad Nov 05: Kanchanbagh police have arrested six persons in connection with the murder of a young man and an attempt to murder another person following an alleged conspiracy linked to a rental property dispute in Hafeez Baba Nagar, Hyderabad. Two other accused persons remain absconding, police said on Wednesday.
The incident occurred in the early hours of November 3 near SA Hair Cutting Saloon and Men’s Parlour Lane at Pathar Ka Makan in Hafeez Baba Nagar, within Kanchanbagh police station limits.
According to the police, the deceased, identified as Syed Omer alias Mashallah Omer, had left his house around 3.10 am to meet his childhood friend Aman Qureshi to discuss a rental dispute involving his maternal uncle, Abdul Barawaz. During the meeting, an argument allegedly led to a planned attack in which Mashallah Omer was stabbed to death.
Police said Syed Bin Mehfooz, 44, who intervened to protect Mashallah Omer, was also attacked with a knife and sustained injuries to his neck. Mashallah Omer suffered multiple stab wounds on both sides of his neck. He collapsed near Kareem Kirana Store and was subsequently declared dead by ambulance personnel.
Investigations revealed that the murder was allegedly planned by Abdul Khader Ahmed Batawil Almoodi, the house owner involved in the rental dispute, in coordination with Aman Qureshi and other associates. Police said the deceased had supported his maternal uncle in the dispute over vacating a rented house near Siddique-E-Akbar Masjid in Hafeez Baba Nagar, which allegedly led to hostility between him and the house owner.
According to the police investigation, Aman Qureshi allegedly contacted the deceased through a WhatsApp video call and asked him to meet near the salon under the pretext of settling the dispute. The other accused allegedly surrounded the victim and prevented him from leaving the spot. Aman Qureshi then allegedly brought a knife from his house and attacked the two men when Syed Bin Mehfooz intervened.
After the attack, the accused allegedly fled on four two-wheelers. Police further stated that Khaled Bhaisa allegedly burnt the bloodstained clothes worn by himself and Aman Qureshi near Mallapur to destroy evidence. The knife and the deceased’s mobile phone were allegedly discarded near Hotel Raghavendra at Pahadi Shareef.
Acting on credible information, Kanchanbagh police apprehended six accused persons on November 4. They were identified as Aman Qureshi (35), Khaled Bin Abdus Samad Bayeesa Al Amoudi (34), Jaffar Bin Hawail (36), Mohammed Shafiullah Qureshi (39), Mohammed Ali Abrar (21), and Dasthagir Mohiuddin Ahmed alias Imran (20).
The prime accused, Abdul Khader Ahmed Batawil Almoodi, and another accused, Muzamil alias MLA, are absconding, police said.
The police recovered a knife, five mobile phones, including one belonging to the deceased, and four two-wheelers allegedly used in the commission of the offence. Police also stated that some of the arrested accused had previous criminal cases registered against them at different police stations.
A case has been registered at Kanchanbagh Police Station under Crime No. 298/2026 under Sections 103(1), 109(1) and 62 read with 190 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
