The Story in Brief
Hyderabad police arrested three men on Thursday for the attempted murder of Shameem Sulthana in Daibagh. The accused, including her brother-in-law Mohammed Dastagir Shareef, allegedly conspired to kill her over a long-standing family property dispute. On 27 July, the trio reached her home on a scooter. Ghulam Nabi Qureshi attacked Sulthana with a butcher knife and also assaulted her husband when he tried to intervene. The assailants fled after neighbours gathered. Police recovered the scooter and the weapon.
The Indian Opinion
The narrative that property disputes only turn violent in rural India is lazy. This Hyderabad case, where a man allegedly conspired to kill his sister-in-law, shows urban feudalism is real. The real test is whether the courts deliver swift justice or let such cases drag for years, emboldening other family members to settle scores with knives instead of lawyers.
