3 held for killing PG caretaker over rent
Gurugram, June 11 -- Three men were arrested on Monday night for allegedly murdering their PG caretaker following an argument over a pending room rent of Rs.2,000, police said on Tuesday.
The arrested suspects, picked up from the Delhi-Jhajjar bypass road in Farrukhnagar, were identified as Rahul Kumar alias Papul, 20, of Azampur; Bittu alias Commando, 31, of Kishanpura in Meerut; and Sooraj Kumar, 30, of Hisar. Police said that the three had no prior criminal records and were employed at various warehouses across the district. The deceased was Narender Kumar, 24, a resident of Ward 1, Farrukhnagar, who worked as a caretaker at a PG in Jaat Colony. The incident took place in the trio's room on the night of June 4.
According to Gurugram police public relations officer Sandeep Kumar, Narender had allotted the trio a room on June 1 for a monthly rent of Rs.5,000. "They had paid Rs.3,000 and assured Narender they would pay the rest soon," he said. "On June 3, Narender again asked them for the remaining amount, which led to a heated argument and a scuffle after he hurled abuses at the suspects," the PRO said, adding they have not yet found evidence to support any prior dissension between the accused and the victim.
The next night, the suspects invited Narender to their room to drink liquor, police added. "They possibly wanted to improve relations so he would stop asking for the money. But Narender again brought up the rent and abused them," Kumar said. Investigators said the trio, all drunk, assaulted Narender and Bittu throttled him.
Tenants found the body the next morning. The trio fled, hiding in Mathura, Delhi and other places, but were caught Monday night. An FIR was registered against the suspects under sections 103(2) (murder) and 3(5) (common intention) of BNS at Farrukhnagar police station on Saturday after an autopsy confirmed the murder....
