Two days after missing from home, a 58-year-old man found dead near the Dwarka Sector-9 Delhi Metro station today (April 28). Police confirmed that he was stabbed to death.

The victim Giriraj Singh, a resident of Palam Village and real estate agent, received a call on Sunday evening on his mobile phone. After attending call he left office but didn’t return. His family members then registered a case with the police.

'My father was resting in his office Sunday evening when he received a call on his mobile phone. He left saying he would be back soon. But when he did not return, we lodged a complaint with the police,’ Vijay Singh, son of Giriraj, told reporters here.

From the phone call details, it was traced that a rickshaw puller Pramod had called him on the directions of Jai Bhagwan. Pramod later told the police that Jai Bhagwan had paid him Rs 2,500 to call the old man.
