Police said the body was found by Irfan, an employee there. The victim’s house is in a portion of the dargah, where he was said to have lived alone.
Police said Irfan called the victim’s wife, informing her of Shah’ death around 10.30 am on Tuesday. She rushed to Nampally and later approached the Habeebnagar police with a complaint.
