Police all of a sudden shifted him to Aadhar Hospital where he died within few hours. Local residents suspected he can have been abducted and dumped close to the forest house.
After investigations, police discovered that the man in bedraggled garments was first spotted in Meerpet, where residents spurred by way of panic WhatsApp messages of child kidnappers on prowl, attempted to lynch him. It was then that Meerpet police arrived and whisked him clear of the clutches of a mob.
At the Meerpet police station, the cops discovered him to be nuisance on account of his eccentric ways and dumped him on the freeway at Abdullapurmet. They did not bother that the vagabond's arms were tied with a rope.
After details of the beggar demise due to police apathy trickled out, his members of the family from Tamil Nadu contacted police. Later, police helped them cremate the body.
