In Telangana's Nizamabad district, police constable E Pramod (42) was fatally stabbed by Shaik Riyaz (24), a robbery suspect with over 30 criminal cases against him.
The attack happened on October 17, 2025, as Pramod was escorting Riyaz to the police station—Riyaz attacked him with a knife and also injured Pramod's nephew who tried to help.
Sadly, Pramod died at the hospital.
Riyaz hid in an abandoned lorry before being caught
After the stabbing, Riyaz escaped, sparking a large-scale search with nine police teams combing a 25-km area.
He hid for two days in an abandoned lorry before being caught near Sarampur village on October 19.
During his arrest, he assaulted another man named Asif; both were treated for their injuries.
Telangana's top cop has promised strict action against Riyaz as the investigation continues.
