Man stabbed to death for confronting daughter’s harasser

A 55-year-old auto driver was allegedly stabbed to death and his son seriously injured inside their home after they confronted a youth over the alleged harassment of the man’s daughter at Bagh-e-Jahara in Madannapet on Thursday evening.

The victim, Mohd Hasmath Ali Khan, had reportedly questioned Habeeb Mohammad, aged around 27, and warned him against allegedly harassing his daughter. Police said the confrontation turned violent when Habeeb allegedly attacked Hasmath with a knife at his house, killing him at the spot. When Hasmath’s son Omar attempted to intervene, he too was allegedly attacked and sustained serious injuries.
