Of late, there has been a surge in vandalism targeting upscale buildings and properties in the Jubilee Hills and Banjara Hills areas of Hyderabad.
It is suspected that a set of individuals are intentionally causing damage to these buildings. This trend has been reportedly continuing over the past month.
According to reports, on March 20, around 7 pm, the windows of Brook Brothers store on Road No: 2, Banjara Hills, were suddenly shattered.
Within a few hours, similar damage occurred at Van Heusen store, White Crow store, Godfrey Phillips, and 24-Seven store, causing panic among customers and resulting in minor injuries to one individual.
The very next day, unidentified individuals vandalized RK Cineplex on the same road, damaging glass pillars on the ground floor. This pattern repeated two more times in the same mall.
On April 4, the windows of the Suryansh Fab store were hit on the same road. The next day, stones were hurled at the Under Armour store, also located on Road No: 2.
As of now, more than 10 such incidents have been reported in the area over the past month. Finally, the owners of these stores collectively filed complaints on April 16.
The police have registered eight cases and are investigating the matter. It is heard that two cab drivers have been taken into custody in connection with the cases.
