Petbashrabad police arrested five men for a 38-year-old businessman stabbed to death in a crowded weekly market in Kompally on Sunday night.
Five accused, Shaik Ahmad Alias Noor, 33, Shaik Rehmath, 24, Kodimyala Shashi Kumar, 23, Vagmar Raj Kamal, 24 and 20, have been arrested for murdering Syed Siddiq. All criminals except Jampanna are residents of Macha Bollaram, and he is from Old Alwal.
Siddiq has been working with her father to start a battery light rental business for vegetable suppliers for more than 15 years. “Their long-term competition with another local businessman, Shaik Mohammad and his sons has caused a repetition of friction. In March this year, Siddiq attacked Mohammad’s son Ahmad in a dispute over the weekly market in Medchal,” the official explained.
Ahmad, worried about the safety of his family and was skeptical, decided to eliminate Siddiq. “He roped in his brother Rehmath and three associates. On May 11, after confirming Siddiq’s presence in Kompally market, the group launched a planned attack around 7.45 pm Ahmad, Rehmath, and Shashi Kumar stalled Siddiq multiple times with knives, while Raj Kamal and Jampanna assaulted him using a vehicle key and their fists,” added the officer.
Jampanna has a history of property crime and robbery, and has carried out seven cases against him since 2020.
