Meanwhile, Dawood's family has confirmed that it was Riyaz who had called Dawood out and later killed him.

Many parts of Dawood's body had marks of dog bite but his chest had marks of a sharp object, police said.

Police said, Riyaz had suspected that Dawood had illicit relations with his stepdaughter. In order to eliminate him, Riyaz killed him and fed his body to dogs so that the murder appeared to be a case of attack by stray dogs.

The residents of the area are now demanding stringent punishment for the accused.
