A young man in Uttar Pradesh was lured for a late night drink binge and then murdered by his tenants over money dispute.
The victim turned out to be the younger brother of a woman sub-inspector, who registered a complaint after her sibling went missing last week.
Amroha SP Vipin Tada told reporters, "Akshay was a resident of Friends' colony in Amroha district. He went missing on Thursday. After a complaint, a manhunt was launched and Akshay's body was found in a deserted place."
The couple have been booked for the crime. The wife is absconding. The husband, Arvind, has been arrested.
