HYDERABAD: Saidabad police on Wednesday registered an attempt to murder case against private employees, Naveen and Uday Kishore of Singareni Colony, for stabbing a cab driver, Y Venu Gopal, 23, and his brother, Srikanth, due to a personal grudge on Tuesday night. The victims’ condition is stable, police said.
While returning home on January 24, Venu Gopal met Naveen and Uday Kishore near Hanuman Temple in Singareni Colony. Naveen was Venu’s junior in school and Venu stopped to say hello to him. While Venu was talking to Naveen, Uday Kishore punched him in the face without any provocation.
Venu left the place and told his brother, Srikanth, about the incident. On January 26 night, when the brothers along with their friends were chatting at Block-49 in Singareni Colony, Naveen and Uday Kishore came there. When Srikanth asked them about assaulting his brother, Uday pulled out a knife from his pocket and stabbed Venu. When Srikanth tried to intervene, Uday stabbed him twice in the abdomen. “We filed a case against the duo under Sections 307 and 324 of the IPC,” Saidabad inspector K Srinivas said.
