Hyderabad police have registered a criminal case against notorious rowdy sheeter Ayub Khan and his associate Mohd. Farooq of Kummarwadi in connection with allegations of cheating, misappropriation of funds and criminal intimidation. The case, registered as Crime No. 47/2026, has been booked at Shahalibanda Police Station.
According to the complaint, the victim was lured into a business partnership in 2024 and invested an amount of ₹4.70 lakh. Police said the accused allegedly misappropriated the profits from the business and failed to return the complainant’s share. The accused later reportedly obtained around six tolas of gold ornaments from the victim on the pretext of clearing outstanding debts. However, the ornaments were mortgaged and not returned to the complainant.
In January 2025, when the victim approached Ayub Khan seeking settlement of his dues, the accused allegedly threatened him with dire consequences and warned him not to approach the police. Due to fear and intimidation, the complainant did not report the matter earlier and has now come forward with a formal complaint.
Police records show that Ayub Khan is a history sheeter involved in as many as 79 criminal cases. In view of the seriousness of the allegations, special police teams have been constituted to trace and arrest him and his associate.
Deputy Commissioner of Police, Charminar Zone, Sri Kiran Khare, IPS, reiterated that there would be zero tolerance towards rowdyism, criminal intimidation, extortion and organised crime in the Charminar Zone. He said strict action would be taken against those indulging in such activities to ensure public safety and confidence in law enforcement.
Police have appealed to the public to share any credible information regarding the whereabouts or activities of Ayub Khan with Shahalibanda Police Station. Authorities assured that the identity of informants would be kept strictly confidential.
