HYDERABAD: Six days after an Intermediate student was found murdered at an under construction site for government double-bedroom houses in
Asif Nagar, two persons, including a trader, were arrested from their houses
on Friday.
B Vishnu (23), trader from
in
Seetharambagh and P
Tilak (24), an unemployed youth from
Afzal Sagar, attacked K
Vignesh
Bandili (19), of
Aghapura with a stick on his head on the intervening night of July 21-22 leading to the victim's instantaneous death, additional DCP, west zone, M
Venkateswarulu said.
Vishnu and
Tilak met
Vignesh near his house on the fateful night and later had gone to
Lakshminarasimha bar in
Gudimalkapur where they consumed liquor. In a drunken condition, the trio went to the under construction site at
Bhojagutta when a heated argument ensued between the accused duo and
Vignesh. In a fit of rage, they killed the student.
Initially,
Vignesh’s identity could not be established. It was only after two days, on July 23, family members of
Vignesh approached the
Asifnagar police after coming across his photographs in media and confirmed his identity. The family members told cops that
Vignesh had left the house at
9 pm on July 21 and did not return. Police analysed the CCTV camera footage at
Bhojaguttta where the body was found and at the victim’s house in
Afzal Sagar. Cops also analysed the cellphone details of the victim and zeroed in on Vishnu and
Tilak.
Vignesh met Vishnu and
Tilak three months ago through a common friend Ravi after
Vignesh had a quarrel with his friends —
Fareed,
Chintu,
Aslam and
Ashish — over a petty issue. Ravi introduced
Vignesh to the
asccused duo and asked them to support
Vignesh. Vishnu and
Tilak warned
Fareed to keep away from
Vignesh. Since then,
Vignesh became a friend of Vishnu and
Tilak. Subsequently, Vishnu asked
Vignesh to loan him some money. However, Vishnu was upset when he saw
Vignesh moving closely with
Fareed and picked up an argument with him.
Both the accused were sent to judicial remand.
