Delhi police have arrested a man, who allegedly strangled another individual to death for verbally abusing a security guard in south Delhi’s Maidan Garhi area, the authorities said on Friday.

According to a PTI report, the accused Ravindra, 32, is a resident of Uttar Pradesh’s Etah, he used to work as a labourer at an event management company but left the job. He started residing at a DDA park as a vagabond and the security guard used to give him food.

The incident occurred on March 9 when a man named Ajay, 24, allegedly verbally abused the security guard. In retaliation, Ravindra decided to exact revenge by killing him.

Upon receiving a complaint regarding Ajay’s disappearance, authorities traced his last known location near the DDA park in Rajpur Khurd Extension. Subsequently, Ajay’s body was found lying near the park.

The police checked the footage,. From the CCTV, they saw Ajay entering the park with a man but they were not seen coming out, as per the PTI report.
