HYDERABAD: A woman was found murdered at an abandoned Qutub Shahi-era palace in Attapur on Sunday morning. The unidentified victim, about 25 years old, was naked when locals found her. Cops suspect that the woman was raped before being strangled to death.
The cops also found a churidar next to the body which was lying on the first floor of the two-storied Mushq Mahal. The palace, which was originally called
Mishk Mahal
, was constructed under the supervision of
Miyan Mishk Malik
, the Abssynian commander of Qutub Shahi king
Abul Hasan Tana Shah
during 1678. The two-storied palace was constructed as a getaway for the Golconda royals.
Rajendranagar inspector

IPC
Sec 302 has been registered and a manhunt was on to nab the offenders.
