A 50-year-old man, who allegedly stabbed to death his uncle over a monetary dispute, was arrested after the police tracked him with the help of the gunny bag into which he had shoved the body of the deceased at northwest Delhi's Azadpur, police said today.
The accused, identified as Jagdish Yadav, used to stay with his uncle, Shiv Nath, near the vegetable market at Azadpur, where both worked as labourers and small-time vegetable suppliers. Jagdish allegedly killed Shiv Nath when he failed to return Rs 30,000 which he had borrowed from him, said DCP (Northwest) Vijay Singh.
The police found Nath's body inside the gunny bag near the vegetable market at Azadpur area on Wednesday, after which they started questioning commission agents and labourers in the market. Soon it emerged that the kind of gunny bag inside which Nath's body was found was usually used in lemon transit.
Meanwhile, a police team which was sent to Nath's residence found out that Jagdish, who stayed with him, was missing for a long time. Further investigation revealed that Jagdish was last seen at the lemon market, which turned the needle of suspicion towards him, said police.
Based on an tip-off, the police arrested Jagdish yesterday from near the fruit market in Azadpur. During interrogation, he told the police that he allegedly killed his uncle with the help of his associate Arjun Bangali, who is still at large, police added.
