Man Kills Friend over Old Enmity in Banjara Hills

A 24-year-old man allegedly murdered his friend by stabbing him with a knife in Banjara Hills after holding a grudge over a previous altercation. The accused, identified as Imran Pasha, had purchased the knife online two months ago to carry out the murder, police said.

According to police, Imran Pasha and Farhan (28), both residents of Shoukat Nagar in Banjara Hill, were friends. Both were reportedly addicted to alcohol and often indulged in thefts and threatening people.

Two months ago, the duo had an argument while under the influence of alcohol, which escalated into a physical fight. Farhan



allegedly attacked Imran, prompting the latter to develop a grudge and plan his revenge.

Imran subsequently purchased a knife online and kept track of Farhan's movements for nearly two months, waiting for an opportunity to attack him. On November 8, Imran learnt that Farhan had gone to a firecracker shop near Sagar Society junction.

He waylaid him and stabbed him in the back with the knife, killing him. He later surrendered before the Banjara Hills police. During the investigation, police found that Imran was already facing two murder cases registered at Alwal and Banjara Hills police stations.
