: A man has been arrested for stabbing to death a 15-year-old boy in outer Delhi over suspicion that the victim was a police informer.
The suspects had even carried the victim’s body on a motorcycle for a few kilometres to safely dump it in a drain. They, however, had to abandon the body outside the drain after it fell off the motorcycle, on the way.
Aman, 22, the prime suspect in the case was released from jail on bail in a theft case on April 9.
On the same day, he met three of his associates and told them that Vipin Kumar Pandey, the victim, had informed the police about him, which had led to him being jailed.
The four made a plan to murder Pandey. They abducted him and brought him to a park in Mangolpuri, where the four rained fist blows on him. Aman stabbed Pandey in his abdomen, leading to his death right away.
When it came to disposing the body, they decided to carry it a few kilometres away to Ganda Nala in Vijay Vihar and dump it in the drain there.
“Aman and one of his associates sandwiched the body between them on the motorcycle and rode to Vijay Vihar. But as they were approaching the drain, the body fell off the motorcycle,” the police said on Sunday.
The two suspects were forced to abandon the body and escape as they sensed some people were approaching.
The police, meanwhile, received a call around the same time about a body lying at the spot.
It went unidentified for two days before Pandey’s father identified the body soon after he filed a missing complaint on April 12.
Meanwhile, Aman and his associates had returned to the spot to pick the body and dump it into the drain. They, however, were forced to retreat on finding the police team there.
Aman’s associate Jitender who rode the motorcycle carrying Pandey was arrested on May 16 after a crime branch team was tipped-off on his arrival at a bus stop in Mangolpuri.
