The family of Mohd. Ghouse in the Old City heaved a sigh of relief on Wednesday when five youngsters – among them were four brothers -- who were whisked away by police in a red Tavera returned home safely.
The youth were taken away from their house in Yousufain Colony in Chandrayangutta late on Tuesday night triggering tension in the area, as the persons who picked them up claimed themselves to be cops from Santoshnagar police station.
Worried relatives rushed to the PS only to be told that they were not there. This gave rise to intense speculations that the youth were picked up for ‘terror links.’ But later, it turned out that they were picked up by the Kukatpally police and detained at the KPHB police station for questioning.
