Delhi Police arrested two people from Gurugram for the alleged murder of Yuvraj Singh Manchanda over a financial dispute. The family alleges his body was found and cremated by Gurugram Police before they could even file a missing person report.
Two Arrested in Delhi Man’s Murder
Delhi Police have arrested two accused in connection with the alleged murder of Yuvraj Singh Manchanda, a 31-year-old resident of Sarita Vihar who was reported missing by his family. Preliminary investigation by the police suggests that a dispute over financial transactions may have led to the murder.
Both accused are reportedly residents of Gurugram. Police said the woman arrested had previously worked with Manchanda, while the second accused is allegedly her accomplice.
Family Alleges Negligence, Hasty Cremation
Manchanda was reported missing by his sister on September 11 after the family was unable to contact him for several days. He was later found dead.
According to a statement issued by the family, Gurugram Police had allegedly found Manchanda’s body on September 10, a day before the missing complaint was filed. The family further alleged that the body was cremated in “extraordinary haste” on September 14 without informing them and without following due process. The family also alleged that Manchanda’s body was not uploaded on ZIPNET, a database used to help identify unidentified bodies and trace missing persons.
Ongoing Investigation
Delhi Police are questioning the arrested suspects to ascertain the motive, identify any other accomplices and establish the complete timeline of the alleged crime. Further details are awaited.
