Salon owner murdered in Hyderabad

Hyderabad: A salon manager, Ashok, was murdered in Kukatpally on Sunday night, police said on Monday. The suspect is an employee, Pankaj, whom Ashok had sacked for diverting the salon’s customers to his own house. Ashok had hired Pankaj about four months ago.

Ashok's wife Neeraja told the police: "My husband went to the salon after lunch on Sunday afternoon. We can see the salon from our house. We noticed that it was



closed after 10 pm but my husband had not returned. His phone was switched off when I tried to call him. We sent our son to the salon." When the salon’s shutter was opened, they found Ashok lying in a  pool of blood with stab wounds.

Kukatpally inspector M. Surender said the police had collected evidence at the spot, booked a case and began investigations.
