Hyderabad: In a shocking incident, a 14-year-old boy Mohd Nawaz, son of Riaz Ahmed, died under suspicious circumstances while playing volley ball at Andheri Galli area, Moghalpura on Saturday night.

On learning about the incident, his parents rushed him to Osmania General Hospital where doctors declared dead on arrival.

However, seeing a few injury marks on his face, his father grew suspicious and decided to file a complaint to investigate the cause.
According to the police, the boy who was fasting during the day did not have sufficient dinner after iftar and went to play volleyball post offering Taraweeh prayer.
While the few boys playing with Nawaz claimed that others beat him up, others told that he collapsed to the ground while playing.
