Hyderabad: Two youths were beaten up by ‘anti-social elements’ in Shamshabad where they had gone for work, Majlis Bachao Tehreek (MBT) spokesperson Amjed Ullah Khan alleged on Wednesday, October 21.

“Two Muslim youths, Hyder and Wahed, residents of Old City Hyderabad, who went to work as electricians in a house in Rallagadda Doddi, Shamshabad, were attacked by 20-25 anti-social elements and admitted in serious condition to Osmania General Hospital,” Khan stated in an X post.
