Hyderabad: In the jurisdiction of the Chaderghat police station, a young man killed his younger brother by slitting his throat with a knife after the younger brother, who was drunk, created a disturbance. Police reported that the deceased, Haider Hussain, a resident of Usmanpura, Chaderghat, had a younger son named Safdar Hussain (24), who worked as a lassi maker and was addicted to alcohol. Every day, he would return home intoxicated and pick fights with his mother, Syeda Zara Fatima, and other family relatives.
Following this pattern, last night at 11 PM, Safdar Hussain returned home drunk, argued with his mother Zara Fatima and his elder brother Hashim alias Aslam Hussain, then went to his room and fell asleep. On Wednesday morning at 5 AM, Safdar Hussain woke up, started picking up household items and throwing them, causing damage inside the house. When his mother Zara Fatima intervened to stop him, Safdar Hussain threatened to kill her and pushed her.

Due to the push, Zara Fatima fell to the ground. At that moment, her elder son Hashim, who was sleeping in another room, came out. Seeing Safdar Hussain fighting with their mother, he took a knife used during Muharram mourning rituals and attacked Safdar Hussain. The two fought their way outside near the parking area of the Ice Factory building.
Near the parking area, Hashim beat Safdar Hussain, brought him down, and after slitting his throat with the knife, proceeded to stab his chest and right hand repeatedly with the same knife. Safdar Hussain died on the spot from this attack. Upon receiving information about the incident, Chaderghat police arrived at the scene and sent Safdar Hussain’s body to the Osmania Hospital morgue for a postmortem. Based on the complaint received, police registered a murder case and arrested Hashim.
