Saroornagar Murder: Suspects Awarded Life Imprisonment

In a swift and decisive move, a fast track court in Hyderabad sentenced two persons to life imprisonment for the murder of a 25-year-old marketing professional. The convicted persons, Syed Mobin Ahmed (28) and Mohd. Masood Ahmed, bore a grudge against the victim, B. Nagaraju, for marrying their sister after converting her religion against the family’s wishes.

On May 4, 2022, the duo hacked Nagaraju to death on the road while he was riding his bike with his wife. The Saroornagar police booked a case and arrested the suspects.

During the investigation, the police collected statements from eyewitnesses and circumstantial witnesses, meticulously documenting their accounts. They also gathered crucial evidence using technical data support. In a significant development, the Test Identification Parade (TIP) was conducted, and multiple eyewitnesses positively identified the suspects as the perpetrators.

The fast track court system established through joint efforts with the government and justice was swift. The trial was completed within a year and the sentence was announced.

The conviction and sentencing of the accused in the Saroornagar murder case is a welcome development. It sends a strong message that such heinous crimes will not be tolerated and that the perpetrators will be brought to justice swiftly.
