Hyderabad: A young construction worker employed with a private firm has alleged that he was attacked by goons for refusing to pay the union fee in Borabanda on Saturday. Arman Khan, 27, said one Sharfuddin Khan and his aides attacked him with wooden planks and stones. However, police said there was a brawl between Arman and Abdul Hai who had rented him a machine.
Police said Md Arman Khan, a resident of Borabanda, makes false ceilings. For this, he took a machine on rent from Abdul Hai. When Abdul wanted the machine back, Arman delayed giving it back. Abdul approached one Sharfuddin and took his help to get the machine back. On Friday, Sharfuddin called Arman to his office and the two had a verbal exchange. Angered over this, Sharfuddin hit Arman on his face with his mobile. Arman lodged a complaint with police.
“On Saturday when Arman was passing through Borabanda, where Abdul’s shop was located, he had an argument with Abdul, leading to a scuffle. He was attacked by Sharfuddin and others with wooden planks and stones. Injured, Arman was rushed to hospital. A case was registered against Sharfuddin and six others,” said SR Nagar inspector Satish.
Arman’s family said he was first attacked three days ago for refusing to pay to union funds.
