Delhi Businessman Missing for Days Found Murdered in UP’s Shamli

Delhi: Police have confirmed that a businessman missing from Tilak Nagar in West Delhi has been murdered in Shamli, Uttar Pradesh.

Sagar managed a leased hotel in Tilak Nagar, and since he left the premises, he has not returned home. The family doubted his disappearance and suspected foul play and, therefore, reported it to the police, thus registering an abduction case.

"Initial inquiry suggested that he had left his former employers last month and started his own business, which led to business enmity between him and his ex-employers. They are the primary suspects and teams are looking for them," a police source said.

The victim, namely Sagar, went missing on the 26th of March; it was also said that an abduction case was registered on the 30th of March after the family raised suspicion on his previous employers, who were also in the hotel business.

On March 27, Kandla police station in Shamli registered a murder case and Sagar's body was confirmed on April 2.

"The family members mentioned that he had left his hotel but never reached home. When the family raised suspicion on certain persons and that his life may be in danger, a case of abduction was registered in Tilak Nagar Police Station,” said Deputy Commissioner of Police , West, Vichitra Veer.
