Hyderabad: With the
arrest of six activists of the Hindu Vahini, Hyderabad police
claim to have solved the mystery behind last week's attacks on
eight people belonging to the minority community.
Police said the accused attacked people of the other community on
the pretext that they had slaughtered cows during Eid-ul-Zuha Nov
7.
According to Police Commissioner A.K. Khan, the sleuths of the
Commissioner's Task Force solved the mystery behind the attacks
that occurred on the night of Nov 8-9 at five different places in
the city.
"Police seized three motorcycles, three rods, one knife and six
cell phones used in attacks," said a statement from the police
commissioner's office Sunday night.
The accused, all of them in their 20s, include one K. Unni
Krishna, who is a cinema artist from Kerala and one Surya Vanshi
Santosh, a student of fashion technology and native of Adilabad
district.
Police said the accused assembled in Baghlingampally Park Nov 8
and conspired to attack people of the other community. The same
night they attacked eight people with iron rods and a knife at
five different places. The victims going on two-wheelers sustained
serious head injuries.
The series of attacks crated panic among people.
Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) leader and MP from Hyderabad
Asaduddin Owaisi had urged police to immediately bring the
culprits to book.
MIM has demanded stern action against those involved in the
attacks. MIM leaders voiced concern over deliberate attempts being
made to vitiate the peaceful atmosphere in the city.
A delegation of MIM legislators met the police commissioner and
lodged their protest over the permission given to Vishwa Hindu
Parishad leader Praveen Togadia to visit the city. They demanded
that a case be booked against Togadia for delivering a
"provocative" speech during his visit last week.
