An advocate was stabbed to death at his residence in Santosh Nagar on Monday morning.
The deceased was identified as Errababu Israel, 56.
The suspect Dastagiri, an electrician, remains at large.
According to the police, Israel allegedly assisted a woman in filing a case against Dastagiri for harassment. While the exact motive behind the murder is still under investigation, the police suspect that this dispute may have played a role in the crime.
“Dastagiri came to the advocate’s residence and attacked him with a knife. The victim was immediately shifted to a hospital in the vicinity where he was declared dead on arrival,” IS Sadan Inspector G. Nagaraju said.
Following a complaint by Israel’s daughter, the IS Sadan police booked a case.
