The Hyderabad City Police have arrested multiple accused persons allegedly involved in the murder of Advocate Khaja Moizuddin, who was killed in a suspected planned vehicle attack near his residence at Masab Tank in Hyderabad.
According to police officials, the incident took place on May 23, 2026, when Advocate Khaja Moizuddin was leaving for swimming early in the morning. Investigators said a Scorpio vehicle allegedly rammed into him intentionally near his residence, causing severe injuries. He later succumbed while undergoing treatment at a hospital.
Initially, a case was registered at Nampally Police Station under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Following the victim’s death, the case was altered to include murder charges.

According to the investigation, long-standing disputes reportedly existed between the deceased advocate and the family of accused Mujahid Alam Khan regarding Waqf properties and related legal cases in Hyderabad.

Investigators further stated that accused Mujahid Alam Khan and Mahaboob Alam Khan allegedly conspired with associates to eliminate the advocate through a contract killing arrangement reportedly worth ₹15 lakh. Police claimed the accused had been conducting surveillance on the victim for several months before carrying out the attack using the Scorpio vehicle.
