Hyderabad: A man in Afzalgunj was sodomised and murdered by unknown people in the early hours of Monday. The 40-year-old victim’s body was found dead near a local bar with his hand and leg tied. The police found liquor bottles at the crime scene and stated that they found few evidence that the victim had been sodomised before his death.
The victim is yet to be identified and the police has booked a case for murder. “The victim’s hands and legs were tied with clothes to make it convenient for sodomy. His mouth had also been tied. We suspect that he suffocated to death,” said Sultan Bazaar ACP R. Giridhar.
Police also suspect that there was more than one attacker. “Going by the crime scene, it looks like the crime was committed by a group of people. We have collected some clues from the spot and we are investigating,” said an official.
Talking about the charges in the FIR, Sultan Bazaar ACP said that the IPC sections for “rape” did not apply in this case since the victim and accused were of the same gender.
