Even as speculation remains that Andhra's famous 'needle attacker' shifted to Hyderabad, one more attack was reported in the city while another attack was reported in Telangana's Nalgonda district.

The latest claim in Hyderabad was an LIC employee who went to the Orange Hospital in LB Nagar on Monday night, complaining that someone had pricked him with a needle at a bus stop, around 7:30 pm.

50-year old Swamy Naik, left the hospital later without giving his contact details, after the doctor failed to find an injury. "We believe that it's noting but paranoia," ACP, LB Nagar, P Venugopala Rao told the Times of India.
