One More Person Murdered in Banu Nagar, Santoshnagar: MBT Seeks Impartial Investigation
Hyderabad: Another murder has been reported in Banu Nagar, Santoshnagar, under the Yakutpura Assembly Constituency, raising concerns over the law-and-order situation in the area.
According to the information available, Mohammed Ilyas, aged 43, was at his residence in Banu Nagar when three to five persons allegedly came to his house and knocked on the door. When Mohammed Ilyas came outside to meet them, the persons allegedly took him approximately 50 metres away from his residence and attacked him with weapons.
Following the attack, Mohammed Ilyas fell seriously injured. He was immediately shifted to Owaisi Hospital, where doctors declared him brought dead.
After receiving information about the incident, officials of IS Sadan Police Station reached the spot and shifted the body to the mortuary at Osmania General Hospital for further procedures.
Amjed Ullah Khan, Spokesman of Majlis Bachao Tehreek (MBT), visited the Osmania General Hospital mortuary and met the bereaved family members. During the meeting, the relatives alleged that the persons involved in the attack were associated with a political party and expressed apprehension that the case was not being investigated properly by the IS Sadan Police.
The family members further alleged that two of the accused, along with a political party leader, went to the IS Sadan Police Station and surrendered themselves. These allegations require verification through an impartial police investigation and due legal process.
Amjed Ullah Khan expressed concern over the incident and urged the police authorities to conduct a fair, transparent and impartial investigation, identify and arrest all persons responsible for the murder, establish the circumstances leading to the attack, and ensure that no accused is given any undue protection because of political connections.
The family members informed Amjed Ullah Khan that Mohammed Ilyas was the sole earning member of the family. His death has left behind his wife, an 8-year-old daughter and two sons aged 6 and 4, who are now facing serious financial uncertainty.
Amjed Ullah Khan urged the Telangana Government and concerned authorities to extend immediate financial and other necessary assistance to the bereaved family, particularly considering the age of the deceased's children and the loss of their sole breadwinner.
MBT further demanded that the police ensure that the investigation is not influenced by political considerations and that the family receives justice in accordance with law.
