A 38-year-old Andhra man with “mental health issues” was killed at a private de-addiction and rehabilitation centre by his inmates after a fight broke out among them. The man was attacked with sticks and a nail cutter by the two addicts on Wednesday afternoon, reported PTI, citing officials.
The accused hit the victim on his forehead and face, severely injuring him. He was rushed to the hospital but was declared dead.
While the victim had been undergoing treatment at the centre for the past eight months, the accused were shifted to the centre about a month ago.
The accused hail from Nalgonda district in Telangana and Barkas, and they often used to fight with the victim over minor issues, according to a police official at Miyapur Police Station.
The police have filed a complaint in the matter under sections pertaining to murder.
In a separate incident that took place in Telangana, a 35-year-old woman was found dead by hanging at her boyfriend’s residence under the Nagole police station limits in Hyderabad, reported PTI, citing officials.
The deceased was identified as Boda Swaroopa, a native of Reddala village in Mahabubabad district.
“Swaroopa was in a relationship with Banoth Anil Kumar (24), which had led to disputes with her husband. Her husband alleged that Anil, along with his father, Kishan and brother Reddy, had demanded a gold chain from her, which she refused to give,” informed the police.
“Two days ago, Anil called Swaroopa to Hyderabad, and she went to meet him. On September 21, she called her husband and told him that she was with Anil. Later that night, around 11:35 pm, she was found hanging in the bathroom at Anil’s rented house in Nagole. Her husband identified her body and filed a complaint, holding Anil and his family responsible for her death,” the official added.
