Residents of Noida are reeling from a barbaric killing in Sector 64, where homelessness amplified a Rs 1,500 quarrel into a murder. Victim Rahul, aged 35 and a longtime street sleeper, was savagely hit on the head by Ravindra before being pitched into a drain to his death.
The body was found Thursday in a Sector 64 drain, triggering a full-scale police response from the Phase 3 outpost. Senior personnel and forensics personnel descended on the spot, confirming Rahul’s identity as a man with no fixed abode, eking out life on the sidewalks.
The backstory points to a festering row between Rahul and Ravindra, 30, originally from Pauri Garhwal, Uttarakhand. Both endured the streets together until the debt dispute exploded. In the heat of the moment, Ravindra wielded a stone against Rahul’s skull, then shoved the wounded man into the water-filled drain, causing fatal drowning.
Immediate actions included site preservation, forensic sweeps, body recovery with panchnama, and postmortem dispatch. The accused was nabbed efficiently and is being grilled for a complete confession.
Beyond the immediate outrage, this incident spotlights the perils lurking in urban underbellies, where the destitute are prey to unchecked aggression. Noida law enforcers pledge meticulous pursuit of truth and justice.
