On Saturday night, when Syed Ayaz was playing mobile game, the accused, who came on bikes, attacked him with sharp weapons. Due to injuries on his neck, chest and other parts of the body, he died on the spot, Additional DCP (Task Force) Chakravarthy Gummi said.
The accused — Ahmed Hussain, Masiuddin and Salman — had previous enmity with Syed Ayaz, following which they hatched a plan to eliminate the former, he said. “As per their plan, they reached the tea shop and killed Syed Ayaz,” Mr. Gummi said.
Acting on credible information, South Zone team led by inspector S. Raghavendra, apprehended the accused and they were handed over to Rein Bazar police for further investigation.
