Hyderabad: Twenty days after two persons were allegedly set ablaze by some unknown miscreants in two separate incidents in Mahankali Division, the North Zone police booked three persons on charges of murder, attempt to murder and arrested them on Friday. The accused who have been identified as Mohd Ameer, 20, Syed Abdul Akheel, 22, and Mohd Anwar 22, all residents of Hafeezbaba Nagar in Chandrayangutta, were nabbed near Secunderabad Railway Station on Friday at 6.30 am by a Special Investigating Team (SIT), formed by DCP (North), G Sudheer Babu.
“The accused were traced after police collected scientific evidence and CCTV footage from near the crime scene,” the DCP explained. The officer said that the accused developed a killing instinct and hatred against auto-rickshaw drivers and persons sleeping on pavements because many a time in the past, the accused persons were beaten by auto drivers when they used to approach the sex workers on the roadside.
“The investigation disclosed that the trio on the intervening night of April 1 and April 2 after consuming liquor reached Chaderghat around 11 pm, had dinner at a hotel and purchased petrol. Then they went searching for roadside prostitutes in Secunderabad area, but finding police patrol in the vicinity, the trio changed their plan.
The accused reached Old Bhoiguda area and found Narsing Rao, a resident of Bansilalpet, sleeping on the pavement. In order to teach a lesson to the persons sleeping on the pavements, the accused persons doused Narsing with petrol and set him on fire,” Sudheer said, adding that in the second instance also they set an auto driver, Anand Panchal, 55, a native of Maharashtra, on fire near Bata crossroads in a similar fashion.
