Hyderabad: An auto-rickshaw driver was chased and brutally hacked to death by two of his neighbours on a busy road in Hyderabad. The incident took place in broad daylight in the Azampura area of Chaderghat.
The gruesome murder was captured on a CCTV camera. The video clip, which has gone viral on social media, shows one of the attackers chasing and attacking the victim even as the movement of vehicles continued on the busy road. Nobody dared to intervene to stop the deadly assault.
Once the victim, identified as Yousuf (30), fell to the ground, the attacker turned back and fled from the spot. The injured man tried to get up but collapsed and succumbed to his injuries. Shockingly, no one from the passers-by came to his rescue.
According to the police, the two assailants stopped the victim who was going on a two-wheeler with a woman. He started running after leaving behind his bike, but the attackers chased him and attacked him with knives.
Despite being injured, Yousuf continued running, but one of the attackers kept chasing him and escaped only after ensuring that the victim had not survived.
The police have launched a hunt for the attackers, who have been identified as Yousuf's neighbours, Akram and Sohail.
The police suspect that an illicit relationship led to the murder.
This was the fifth murder in Hyderabad in less than 24 hours.
Two transgenders were brutally killed late on Tuesday night under the Kulsumpura police station limits. Two others sleeping on the footpath were bludgeoned to death with stones by unidentified persons under the limits of Mailardevpally police station.
