Family attacked by mob in Telangana, five injured

Hyderabad: Five members of a Muslim family were injured when a mob attacked them in Sirnapally village, Indalvai Mandal, Nizamabad district, Telangana.

The injured include Ahmed Ullah Khan, his wife Rizwana Begum, and their sons Mohammed Khan and Aman Khan. They were assaulted by a mob of 60–70 people allegedly armed with sharp weapons.

The attack occurred when Aman Khan and Mohammed Khan—who had been ostracized from the village after being arrested in what they claim was a false case—returned to their ancestral home to celebrate Eid-ul-Adha. The brothers had been living in Kamareddy for the past two years.

Amjedullah Khan, spokesperson for the MBT party, stated that the local Village Development Committee (VDC) had previously passed a resolution barring the two brothers from staying in the village, which may have fueled the hostility.

The mob stormed the family’s house and attacked them with weapons, leaving them severely injured. The victims are currently receiving treatment at Government Hospital, Nizamabad.

Amjedullah Khan demanded the immediate arrest of the perpetrators and strict action against them. “Law and order in the state have completely collapsed. The police are mere mute spectators when minorities are attacked,” he said.

Police officials were unavailable for comment.
