Samira battling for life at Osmania General Hospital
Police on the lookout for prime suspect Arshad
HYDERABAD: An 18-year-old girl, Samira, was pushed down from the first floor of Charminar, allegedly by a youngster, Arshad, along with whom she came, on Thursday evening.
Samira, who fell on the steps of the monument on Sardar Mahal side, is battling for life at the Osmania General Hospital having suffered multiple fractures. Police initially thought she might have accidentally slipped or attempted suicide.
But Charminar Inspector R. Karan Kumar Singh, who was among the first to reach the spot, and his sub-ordinates were shocked when the woman said she was pushed by Arshad. “Uno mujhe dakhal diya (he pushed me),” she said writhing in pain on the hospital bed.
The woman with injuries from the toe to the temple was not in a position to explain how the incident happened and what could be the motive for the attempt on her life. All that she could tell the police was her father’s name is Mohammed Yousuf from Talabkatta and she came to Charminar with Arshad, believed to be her lover.
As her condition was critical, police did not disturb her. After speaking to the private security guards at the Charminar and from what they gathered through her replies, the police believe Samira and Arshad came to Charminar and went up the first floor.
Few minutes later, she fell on the steps between the two minarets. Though there were other visitors when the incident occurred, they left the place by the time police came there to collect details. No family members of Samira contacted police when reports last came in.
Police launched a hunt for the prime suspect,Arshad.
