A 63-year-old senior advocate, Khaja Moizuddin, succumbed to injuries after being critically injured in a suspected hit-and-run incident at Nampally in Hyderabad on Saturday, May 23.
According to police, the incident occurred when Moizuddin stepped out of his residence and was about to enter the driver’s seat of his car. At that moment, an SUV allegedly came at high speed and rammed into him.
A video clip of the incident, which has surfaced online, shows the vehicle hitting Moizuddin with great force, throwing him several feet into the air before he landed on the road. He suffered grievous injuries and was immediately shifted to a hospital for treatment.
Despite medical efforts, Moizuddin later succumbed to his injuries.
Police launch probe
Following the incident, the Hyderabad City Police reached the spot and launched an investigation. Police teams also visited the hospital and began collecting evidence, including CCTV footage and eyewitness accounts.
Meanwhile, family members and colleagues of the advocate suspect the incident may have been a pre-planned attack rather than an accident. Based on these allegations, police are probing the case from all possible angles, including the possibility of murder.
Further investigation is underway.
