A man in Delhi was reportedly killed by his colleagues, one of whom he used to make ‘reels’ with, who were allegedly angered by repeated insults by him at their workplace, police said on Thursday.
The 25-year-old victim has been identified as Golu, while the accused are Ranjeet (30) and Neeraj Verma (23), both residents of Delhi’s Rampura, news agency PTI quoted DCP (Northwest) Bhisham Singh as saying.
Golu frequently made reels with Ranjeet, the DCP said.
On Tuesday night, police received a PCR call complaining of foul smell emanating from a locked room in the Rampura area, the officer said, adding that on reaching the spot, a team of cops discovered a decomposed male body.
A case was registered and an investigation was initiated.
“Scrutiny of Ranjeet’s social media account provided crucial leads. Police raided multiple locations and apprehended two suspects,” the DCP added.
The accused revealed that Golu had been their colleague at a tent house and later at a footwear factory. The accused claimed Golu often reprimanded and humiliated them verbally and physically, police said.
On one occasion, Golu assaulted the accused, further fueling their resentment, the report quoted the police officer as saying.
Seeking revenge for their humiliation, Ranjeet and Neeraj lured Golu to a location, where they murdered him using a wooden stick, said the officer.
