Furious at being bullied almost everybody, a school cab driver along with his accomplices killed a 22-year old man by first stabbing and then strangulating him at an abandoned farm house situated barely 800 metres from the Neb Sarai police station in south Delhi, police said Wednesday.
The accused then disposed the body by throwing it in a nearby ditch and covering it with some leaves.
The deceased has been identified as Surjit Kashyap, a resident of Jawahar Park in Neb Sarai, police said.
