Speaking to Siasat.com, the Raidurgam police said, “Pramod and Shashidhar are natives of Odisha who were working at the hostel for three years. Pramod held grudges against Shashidhar over some issue. On Thursday, when they were returning after purchasing groceries, Pramod stabbed Shashidhar multiple times.”

After the crime, the accused fled the place. Shashidhar’s body was shifted to Osmania General Hospital (OGH) for postmortem, and the Raidurgam police registered a case of murder under Section 103 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The motive for the murder is still unclear. An investigation has been initiated.
