32YEAROLD BLUDGEONED TO DEATH IN RAVIDAS NAGAR

NEW DELHI: A 32-year-old man, working as a porter at a vegetable wholesaler’s shop at Azadpur vegetable market, was found bludgeoned to death on Sunday at the residence of a married woman with whom he was allegedly having an affair. The incident took place in northwest Delhi’s Ravidas Nagar near Mahendra Park, police said, adding that a couple living in the house is absconding along with their four children after the crime. The victim was the woman’s neighbour.

The police said Sajjan Paswan was murdered allegedly by the woman’s husband after he reportedly found his wife in a “objectionable” condition with Paswan. Paswan was attacked with bricks and iron weight that were found at the crime scene covered in blood. The suspects were identified as Vinod Das and his wife Kajal.

A police officer said the crime came to light around 7 am when Paswan’s brother-in-law called the police and reported that he was missing since Saturday night and neighbours had last seen him at Das’s house.

The caller also told police that Das’s house was locked from outside.

A police team reached there and broke open the door. Paswan’s body was lying face down on the floor and multiple injuries were found on his face and head. The face was disfigured beyond identification. Paswan’s wife and brother-in-law identified the body, which was later sent to a nearby government hospital’s mortuary for autopsy.

A case of murder was registered at the Mahendra Park police station. During the initial probe, Paswan’s wife, Kishna, told the investigators that he had left home on Saturday night, saying he had to meet a truck driver at the Azadpur market.
