A man was hacked to death by unidentified persons at BD Reddy garden in BN Reddy Nagar under Meerpet police limits in the wee hours of Thursday. An extramarital affair is suspected to be behind the gruesome murder. The victim was identified as Srinivas Goud of Thimmarasipally village under Kalwakurthi mandal of Nagarkurnool district.

In the third incident occurred on Wednesday midnight under Mirchowk police limits, a 30-year-old auto driver Mohd Shakeer Qureshi of Chanchalguda was fatally stabbed by his friend Abdul Khaja, 30. Both the friends reportedly quarreled over an auto rickshaw given to a third person by Qureshi near ICICI bank at Nayapul on Wednesday evening. When Qureshi used foul language, Abdul Khaja got furious and inflicted 10 knife injuries on his neck, head and throat killing the victim on the spot. Even after butchering Qureshi, the assailant sat at the scene of offence silently. Khaja told the onlookers that he got furious and attacked him as the victim had abused his mother, sister and also threatened to rape them.
