Hyderabad: A 40-year-old daily wage worker was bludgeoned to death allegedly by a labourer at Chikkadpally on Wednesday. Police shifted the body for a post-mortem examination (PME) and arrested the accused. The deceased was identified as Subhash, a daily wage worker.
A case was registered by the Chikkadpally police under Section 103(1) (murder) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Police identified the accused as Naresh , 35, a tent house worker. The footage analysis revealed that when Subhash was asleep in front of the shop, he was repeatedly attacked with a hammer by a man.

The body of the victim was shifted to Gandhi Hospital mortuary for the PME. During the preliminary probe, police collected the CCTV camera footage from a nearby shop.

Task Force police were roped in and they picked up Naresh from Chikkadpally and handed him over to the local police on Wednesday evening. The accused was produced before a court on Thursday and sent to judicial remand.
