Hyderabad: A rowdy gang attacked Grand Snooker Parlor manager at Dabeerpura in Old City at midnight on Wednesday. Three assailants entered the parlor minutes before the manager was about to close the center and attacked him with knives and baseball bats indiscriminately.

When the players at the parlor tried to come to the rescue of Shabbir, the three attackers scared them away and stabbed and beat the manager. They chased him while he was running out of the center and stabbed him again before leaving the place.

Based on the CCTV footage, the assailants were identified as Messy, Amir and Haider who are rowdy-sheeters and had undergone jail term several times in the past.
