Hyderabad: After going through 5 terabytes of video footage taken from CCTV cameras over a distance of 48 km, the South Zone Task Force police arrested four persons, Amer, Ismail, Shera and a juvenile, for the murder of an autorickshaw driver, Sainath.
Hyderabad police commissioner Anjani Kumar said they had hired an autorickshaw for Rs 700 to go to Chintalmet, Rajendranagar, from Lingampally.
The juvenile and Shera got down at Tolichowki. When Ismail and Amer reached the fisheries department headquarters, they gave the driver Rs 500. When he insisted on the fare of `700, they forced him to go to the Jalpally lake and stabbed him. They later burnt the autorickshaw. Task Force additional DCP said the tattoos on the driver’s body helped identify the driver, as a missing person complaint had been filed in Chandanagar. The police tracked his cellphone to map his route and then checked footage from CCTV cameras on the road.
