Following the murder of a man who was beaten up by the owner and personnel of a restaurant on sunday night, CV Anand, the city police commissioner, has ordered the suspension of sub-inspector shiva Shankar and head constable Shanker of the Punjagutta police station.

At the time of the event, both police officers were on duty at the Punjagutta police station. On sunday around 11 p.m., the victim, Mohammad Liaqat, 31, a resident of Hashmatabad in Chandrayangutta, went to the restaurant with his companion for supper. Liyaqat is said to have requested more raita at the hotel and the waiter reportedly ignored him, which started the altercation. When Liyaqat was allegedly attacked by the hotel manager and other employees, the situation worsened. He suffered serious wounds.

Concerns have been voiced by the victim's family members over the police reaction. They claimed that Liyaqat's hospital admittance was not swiftly facilitated by the police. They further claimed that while the victim was fighting for his life, the cops behaved improperly. In addition, Liyaqat's buddy said that they were brought from the hotel to the police station, where a sub-inspector allegedly beat the victim once again. He said that Liyaqat wasn't transferred to a nearby private hospital until his health had further worsened, at which point the hospital proclaimed him dead.
