His father Rajender Panwar alleged that his son was murdered by his wife's relatives as he belonged to a different caste. The deceased was heading to a shop at Mitti Ka Sher when the incident took place. Rajender Panwar had been worried about his son's safety even though a year had passed since the marriage due to continuous threats from his daughter-in-law’s relatives.
Following this, the deceased had then lodged a complaint with the Afzalgunj police. Following the murder, Shahinayathgunj police registered a case under IPC 302 against persons unknown and began investigating. Police sent his body to the Osmania General Hospital for post-mortem.
Meanwhile, relatives and friends of Neeraj gathered and raised slogans against the police at Begum Bazaar on Friday. However, a police investigation is underway to nab the accused.
