Shoyabullah Khan worked as a sub-editor in the ‘Rayyat’ magazine, edited by Gandhian Mandumula Narasinga Rao. The Rayyat criticised the atrocities and dictatorship of the Nizam. Shoyabullah had become independent in 1947 and started the Imroj Urdu daily paper. He himself edited it. He wrote that under the Nizam’s rule the state is burning; many villages were being destroyed; blood of people is flowing like water; those with money are funding to neighbouring states. Nizam ruler has become a pawn in the hands of Qasim Razvi. Muslim scholars are also condemning the atrocities of Razvi, but the Nizam is sitting calmly. He also printed a declaration by seven important Muslim scholars opposing the activities of Razakars and suggested that sanctions should be imposed on the Ithehadul Muslimeen organisation (Razakars) He was not frightened by the warnings of Razakars but later paid for it deadly.
Qasim Razvi incited the fundamentalist Muslim forces to cut the hands of those opposing the Muslim unity-at a public meeting conducted at Jamrudra cinema hall on 19 August, 1948. Razakars, who were incited by Razvi murdered shoyabullah khan cruelly on the night of 21 August,

They also cut the hands of Ismailkhan, brother-in-law of shoyabullah khan, who tried to save him. The last words of shoyabullah khan were – ” The Imroj shall not stop and truth shall win”. A brave woman called ‘Sangam Lakshmibai’ went to the house of Shoyabullah khan and mourned with his family. Thus ended the story of a brave journalist of Nizam period.

During that period, the Nizam used to impose severe punishments on local people for even small scale opposition.
