CCTV footage around the spot was examined. An FIR under Section 302 (murder) was registered and investigation has been launched,” the police officer said. Police said investigations led to the arrest of Sanjay, a suspect at the same location.
“During interrogation, Sanjay admitted to killing the victim, identified as Ashwani. The accused told the police that he and the victim were drinking in the parking lot. At around 1.30 am, he demanded Rs 1,500 from the deceased.”
