The Delhi Police said it received a call about a man's body lying near the NH-8 service road in Vasant Kunj North at 11.30 pm.
The victim has been identified as Bijender, a resident of Faridabad.
The police have registered a murder case in this connection.
It is suspected that the victim was attacked during a robbery bid but the police are trying to piece together the sequence of events, officials said.
The incident is a re-run of the hit-and-run case in which a 20-year-old woman was dragged to death while she was trapped under a car in the Kanjhawala area of Delhi on new year's day.
