Hyderabad, June 28 -- What should have turned out to be a sweet beginning for a family turned sour when a group of 25 unidentified people attacked them during their housewarming ceremony in Medipally's Boduppal on Saturday night, June 27.

The ceremony was held in Devender Nagar Colony. Police told Siasat.com that a 60-year-old man named Yekaiah wanted to purchase the house. "But for some reason, the house went to the other family. On Saturday, he went to the ceremony in an inebriated condition and started abusing the family," said police officer Tirupathi.

Yekaiah was allegedly slapped and turned away. When his son came to know, he gathered around 25 people and attacked the family, including guests, women, children and senior citizens. ...
