The 2005 Begumpet suicide bombing resulted in the deaths of two persons at the Hyderabad City Police Commissioner's Task Force office at Begumpet.[1][2] On 12 October 2005, at around 7.30 PM IST, a suicide bomber detonated explosives outside the Task Force office killing himself and 45-year-old home guard A. Satyanarayana.

The suicide bomber was reported to be a Bangladeshi national Dalin alias Mohtasim Billal, member of Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami (HuJI), a banned Islamic terror group.[3]

Ghulam Yazdani and Shahed Bilal key accused in the bombing died on 8 March 2006[4] and 30 August 2007[5] respectively. The bombing was reported to be carried out to avenge the killing of Mujahid Salim, son of SIMI patron Maulana Abdul Aleem Islahi,[6] by Gujarat police in 2004.[7]
