The incident took place in NBT Nagar of Banjara Hills, which is located at a stone’s throw from the high-security residential area of MLAs and ministers.

At around 5.15 pm, a man, who was in an inebriated condition came onto the main road on Road No. 12 and stabbed Bala Raju (26), Shaik Bablu (18) and Mahesh (35) and Jagan (20), residents of NBT Nagar, and fled from the spot.

During the attack, Bablu was stabbed in the stomach, and the others suffered minor injuries. On noticing the incident, the passers-by informed the police.
