Three detained for murder of rowdy-sheeter in Meerpet; police probe revenge motive

Three persons have been detained in connection with the murder of a rowdy-sheeter in Meerpet on Monday night, with the police saying that the killing was an act of revenge.

The deceased, identified as Nandanavanam Suri, had multiple criminal cases registered against him across Hyderabad and was also an accused in the murders of his wife and his brother-in-law, Salman.

According to the police, Suri had gone to Nandanavanam to attend the birthday celebration of a family member when the attack took place. Preliminary investigation suggests that Salman’s brother, Arfaz, learnt of Suri’s presence at the venue, reached there, sprayed pepper spray into his eyes and allegedly attacked him with a sharp weapon, inflicting fatal injuries.
