An elderly pedestrian in Hyderabad’s Alwal area died from severe head injuries on Thursday following a brutal assault by a motorbike rider. The incident, which took place on September 30, was sparked after 65-year-old Anjaneyulu asked the rider to slow down while walking along the street.
Captured on CCTV, the footage shows the motorbike rider responding aggressively to Anjaneyulu’s request. The rider, who had a woman and child accompanying him on the bike, parked the vehicle and proceeded to physically assault Anjaneyulu. Despite attempts by the woman to calm him down, the rider violently shoved the elderly man to the ground, while shocked bystanders watched the attack unfold.
