Hyderabad: A 24-year-old was murdered by his friends by stabbing on Saturday night in Mangalhat.
R. Srinivas Reddy, Inspector of Mangalhat police station, said that Mohammed Essa, 25, was stabbed by some persons which led to his death.
“He was stabbed on the right side of his chest and we are trying to establish on who murdered him. It has emerged that two persons named Mohammad and Mustafa had some differences with Essa and on the night of murder, they might have attacked him,” said the official.
However, Essa's brother Mohd Saleem said that Essa was seen going out with his friend Mujahid at 11pm on Saturday. “Mujahid must have killed him because he was last seen going out with him. Esa had got his salary of '22,000 and that could have made Mujahid murder him and run away with the money,” said the brother.
Although officials said that Mujahid was also called for interrogation, they are still investigating the case.
Essa worked as an auto driver and stayed with his family at Kishan Nagar, Asif Nagar, said Jaffar Mir, father of Essa. He also said that Mujahid was friends with Essa for over two years.
