Later, a wallet was found, which helped identify the victim.

Investigations led to the barber, who told the police the victim was a homosexual due to which he had befriended him.

The barber said he served tea mixed with a tranquiliser to the victim.

The victim fell unconscious soon after removing his clothes and the barber took away Rs.5,000 from his pocket.

When he was about to leave, the victim caught him in a semi-conscious condition. This resulted in a scuffle between them and he strangled the victim.
