Hyderabad: Three individuals allegedly attacked a delivery boy for his religion in the Old City of Hyderabad on Tuesday night.
According to the police, Mohd Nadeem Qureshi, a resident of Tallabkatta, had gone to deliver a parcel in Sultan Shahi. As he was waiting for the recipient, three men approached him and enquired his name and launched an unprovoked attack.
The delivery boy suffered serious injuries and was shifted to Osmania Hospital, where he was discharged after being given first aid.
Soon after, he went to the Moghalpura police to register a complaint. However, Nadeem collapsed at the station and was rushed again to the Osmania Hospital, where he is currently under medical care.
A case was booked under 117 (2) r/w 3(5) of BNS. So far, one person has been arrested.
Following the incident, Majlis Bachao Tehreek (MBT) spokesperson Amjedullah Khan visited Nadeem and demanded swift action against those involved.
AIMIM MLA Jaffer Hussain Meraj also met Chatrinaka ACP Chandrasekhar, urging the police to take strict action against the attackers.
