Overview
- Senior advocate Khaja Moizuddin was run over outside his Masab Tank home and died after the attack on May 23, triggering a criminal murder inquiry.
- Hyderabad police formed special teams that recovered the abandoned SUV near Ibrahimpatnam, collected fingerprints and CCTV footage, and are analysing call data records.
- Investigators say several alleged 'supari' operatives have been arrested, including four taken in Goa and others identified from CCTV and confessions.
- The SUV driver, Vinay Goud, told police that Mujahid Alam Khan and others offered a ₹10 crore bounty and land to eliminate Moizuddin, but the father-son pair have not been publicly confirmed as formally arrested.
- The death has provoked wide outrage from bar bodies and the public, the NHRC has reportedly registered a case, and calls for a transparent independent investigation intensify while the alleged kingpin Kishan Singh remains at large.
