Staff Reporter

HYDERABAD: Two persons were found murdered at different places in the city on Wednesday.

The body of an unidentified person, aged about 40 years, was lying near a culvert on the outskirts of Himayatsagar village with bleeding injuries on his head, the Rajendrangar Inspector K. Rambhupal Rao said. The signs on the buckle of the belt the victim wore led the police to believe that he was either a conductor or driver of the Karnataka State Transport Department.

As the road, close to which the body was found, leads to Gulbarga region in Karnataka, they also suspect that the victim could be from that area. The assailants could have hit him on his head with an iron rod, inflicting bleeding wounds.

Painter’s body

In the second case, a painter, Mohd. Javed Pasha, 25, of Indiranagar in Tappachabutra was found murdered at an isolated place on Dattatreya hills in Jirra of Asifngar police station area. According to Inspector Jaleel Khan, Pasha did not return home since three days . Two empty liquor bottles and glasses found at the scene of offence indicated that the victim partied there before being murdered.

The killers smashed his head with a boulder.
