A 22-year-old man allegedly killed his friend in east Delhi’s Mayur Vihar in the small hours of Monday, the police said.
DCP (East) Deepak Yadav said the victim has been identified as 32-year-old Bharat, a resident of Trilokpuri. He used to sell items online.
At 4.30 a.m., the accused, resident of Trilokpuri and a labourer, was on his way to the police station, wearing bloodstained clothes. He spotted a police van and when they asked him about the blood, he confessed to the crime.
“He said he hit Bharat’s head with a heavy stone lying at Vasundhara Road,” Mr. Yadav said. IHe said he committed the crime as the victim used to ask him for sexual favours and he often had to give in.
“On the accused’s instance, Bharat’s body was recovered from the spot and a case under section 302 (punishment for murder) of the IPC has been registered,” Mr. Yadav added.
The police said it has also been revealed that Bharat was asking the accused for money to buy a phone. Further probe is under way.
