Vijayapura police with four of the six men arrested in the Fayaz Mushrif
murder case and the weapons seized from them.
By arresting six persons, including three who are from outside
Karnataka, the district police have made a breakthrough in the murder

case of Fayaz Mushrif, who was shot dead near the Datri Masjid on
November 7. Two of them have been sent to judician custody.
Fayaz Mushrif was the nephew of City Municipal Corporation Mayor
Sajjadepeer Mushrif.
The police also seized from them two cars, three machetes, three mobile
phones and a countrymade pistol with a live round.
Superintendent of Police D. Prakash told a news conference on Saturday
that the prime accused, Mohammad Asif Inamdar, was still at large. Two
teams have been searching for him and seven more suspects in
Maharashtra and Rajasthan.
A lookout notice has already been issued to all the international airports
in the country to stop Inamdar from fleeing the country. We are
confident of arresting the other culprits shortly, he said.
Of the six, Abdul Razak Kumasagi (52), Anwarhussain Badami (28) and
Sabir Patel (50) are from Vijayapura city. Sabrez Sayyed (38), Dilbar
Hussain Sayyed (22) and Guddu Khan (28) are from Uttar Pradesh but
they were living in Pune for several years. They are apparently contract
killers who were hired only to kill Fayaz Mushrif, Mr. Prakash said.
He said it was a murder over personal enmity between Asif Inamdar and
Fayaz as Fayaz was the prime accused in chopping Asifs hand in 2012.
In that incident, a case of attempt to murder had been booked against
Fayaz in the Gandhi Chowk police station. The three accused persons
from the city who have now been arrested said Fayaz used to threaten
them and obstruct their real estate dealings, Mr. Prakash said.
