On May 2, two persons entered Singh’s house with the intention to rob them and choked him to death. “Sharma knew that Singh was rich and planned to rob him along with his friends — Rohit and Bablu. They entered his house on the pretext of asking for a room on rent. The accused then killed Singh. They could not find cash in the house and soon fled the spot,” Mr. Meena said.
