2 confess to killing man after cops weave ‘NASA satellite footage’ story

After tricking with a NASA story, the Delhi Police arrested two men for allegedly killing a 35year-old man who used to abuse the accused in northwest Delhi’s Mangolpuri area.

The accused have been identified as Pradeep and Raju, both residents of Mangolpuri. Police said that body of one Chandarbhan, a resident of Mangolpuri, with injury marks was found on Monday at 9.35 AM and he used to work as a cardboard box painter in Rampura Industrial area.

According to Parminder Singh, the deputy commissioner of police (DCP), Outer district, during investigation, it was revealed that the deceased was last seen with two men on a bike.

“Later, they were identified as Pradeep and Raju. Police did not have any evidence and released them. The inputs were again cross checked and the duo were apprehended,” said the DCP.

“To know about the truth, police told the accused that since the area was under surveillance through satellite cameras of NASA and in those footages, they were seen with the deceased. This led the accused confess to their crime,” said the DCP.

The accused disclosed that they had attacked him on his face and throat with stones lying in the park, the DCP said.

The accused alleged that the deceased used to abuse them after drinking.

They had grudges against Chandarbhan and had planned to kill him. On April 4, they had drinks and brought the deceased to the isolated park in Mangolpuri Industrial area and killed him, said the DCP.

Pradeep is a sales agent working in a private company and Raju is a painter by profession. They have been arrested in the case, police said.
