Hyderabad: A youth was chased and brutally murdered by two men in broad daylight on a busy road in Hyderabad on Wednesday. This horrific incident took place in Azampura area of Chadarghat. The victim has been identified as Yusuf (30), an autorickshaw driver by profession.
This heinous murder was captured in CCTV camera. The video clip, which has gone viral on social media, shows one of the assailants chasing and attacking the victim while vehicular movement continues on the busy road.
Once the victim fell to the ground, the assailant turned back and fled the scene. The injured person tried to get up but fell down and succumbed to his injuries. Surprisingly, no passer-by came to his rescue.
According to the police, two assailants stopped the victim who was traveling on a two-wheeler with a woman. He left his bike and started running, but the assailants chased him and attacked him with knives.
Despite being wounded, Yousuf kept running, but one of the assailants chased him and fled after satisfying himself that the victim had not survived.
