Delivery man killed over iPhone payment, body dumped in canal, police searching with SDRF team.
A 30-year-old delivery man was allegedly killed when he went to deliver an iPhone to a customer who was supposed to pay him ₹1.5 lakh for the product, police said on Monday (September 30, 2024).
They said his body was dumped into the Indira Canal here and a team of the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) has been called to find it.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Shashank Singh said Gajanan, from Chinhat, had ordered the iPhone worth about ₹1.5 lakh from Flipkart and opted for the COD (Cash on Delivery) payment option.
"On September 23, delivery boy, Bharat Sahu of Nishatganj, went to deliver the phone at his place where he was killed by Gajanan and his accomplice. After strangulating Sahu, they put his body in a sack and disposed it off in the Indira Canal," he said.
When Sahu did not return home for two days, his family registered a missing persons complaint on September 25 at the Chinhat police station.
While scanning Sahu's call details and trying to trace his location, police found Gajanan's number and managed to reach his friend Akash.
During interrogation, Mr. Akash confessed to the crime, the DCP fficer said.
