Telangana Real Estate Businessman Stabbed to Death Outside School; CCTV Footage Surfaces
A real estate businessman is stabbed to death outside a school in Telangana's Medchal-Malkajgiri district as CCTV footage captures a six-member attack in broad daylight.
Police in Hyderabad's surrounding Medchal-Malkajgiri district say a real estate businessman was killed in broad daylight outside a school on Monday morning. The victim, Ghanta Venkataratnam, was returning home after dropping his daughter at the school when the assault unfolded. He collapsed on the spot and died before rescue teams could reach him. The incident left the area shocked and raised questions about safety around educational institutions.
CCTV footage shows six assailants: two on a bike and four in an auto rickshaw who stopped near the school building and pounced on the businessman. The attackers reportedly stabbed him multiple times in the stomach, back and neck, continuing the assault even as bystanders passed by. The clip also shows nearby vehicles and pedestrians, with no one intervening to help. A knife was found at the scene, suggesting a targeted, premeditated strike. The footage has been circulating on social media and within the district's police circles as investigators review the sequence.
Medchal-Malkajgiri police have lodged a case and are examining CCTV footage from multiple angles to identify the attackers. Authorities have not released any arrests yet. Investigations are focusing on potential motives and any links to previous disputes. The incident has prompted officials to call for enhanced security measures around schools and more rapid response protocols for emergencies in residential areas near educational institutions.
The incident underscores growing concerns about street violence and the need for rapid, visible policing around schools during peak hours. Community leaders say residents want assurances that such tragedies will not recur.
For now, investigators appeal to anyone with information to come forward and cooperate with the probe.
