A 24-year-old delivery agent was found murdered in Gurugram, with his body discovered inside an iron box, leading to a police investigation and the booking of suspects.
The body of a 24-year-old delivery agent, who was allegedly murdered in Gurugram's Sector 54, was found in an iron box in a slum area, police said on Monday.
The police recovered the body on Sunday evening and booked a woman with whom the deceased was in a live-in relationship and her friend for the murder, they said.
The deceased has been identified as Aman, 24, originally from Murali Basantpur village in Bihar's Saharsa district. His elder brother, Umashankar, filed a complaint with the police, they said.
Umashankar, in his complaint, said that he lives in Chakkarpur village and his brother Aman worked as a delivery boy.
"It was around 6 pm on Sunday when Aman's friend called me and informed me that another friend had murdered him and hidden his body in an iron box in a slum," Umashankar said in his complaint.
He rushed to the scene and informed the police. Upon reaching the spot, the police recovered Aman's body from an iron box and sent it for a postmortem, the complainant said.
"Marks of wounds from a sharp weapon were found on the deceased's body, which appears to be three to four days old," a senior police officer said, adding that the mobile number from which the woman called is also being traced.
A probe is underway, and the accused will be arrested soon, the officer said.
