Gurugram : Two men have been arrested in connection with the murder of a 27-year-old supervisor of a telecom logistics company in the Farrukhnagar area of Gurugram, police said. The victim was identified as Vikas Mishra, a resident of Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh.
Body found in vacant plot
Police received information on August 23 that a man was lying dead in a vacant plot in a colony in Farrukhnagar. When officers reached the spot, they found the victim with injuries to his head, neck and other parts of his body.
Around the same time, Mishra’s uncle approached the Farrukhnagar police station after the family became concerned that he had gone missing. According to the complaint, Mishra’s phone had been switched off and he had failed to report for work. The body was subsequently identified as Mishra’s.
Two accused arrested
The arrested men have been identified as Aamir, 19, from Darbhanga in Bihar, and Anoop, 19, from Gohana in Haryana. Both were arrested from Farrukhnagar on Wednesday, police said.
According to the preliminary investigation, another accused, Ajay, allegedly called Mishra to a vacant plot in Kachhi Colony on the night of August 23 following a dispute. Police said the three men allegedly assaulted him with bricks and other weapons as part of a pre-planned attack. The injuries resulted in Mishra’s death, police said.
Investigation continues
Police said Aamir and Anoop work as labourers, while Ajay allegedly planned the attack and involved the other two accused. Ajay is already in jail in connection with a separate case involving possession of an illegal weapon.
Police are expected to question Ajay after securing his production warrant to establish the motive behind the murder and determine the full circumstances of the case.
