NEW DELHI: An insurance firm executive , who had gone missing on Wednesday, was allegedly murdered by two policemen and his body dumped in a canal in Uttar Pradesh . While one of the accused cops has been arrested, the other is still at large.The arrested policeman, Ajay, is posted with Railway Protection Force while the other, Sarvesh, is employed with UP Police . Cops said Ajay had earlier been suspended for misbehaving with a female colleague. The motive for murder is not clear. Police , however, suspect that Ajay was nurturing a grudge against the deceased, Prem Kumar (28).During interrogation, Ajay is, however, learnt to have claimed that they planned to abduct Kumar for ransom, but killed him for the fear of being caught. Kumar worked for the same insurance company as his father Ramesh Chand, a resident of Sarai Rohilla in north Delhi , who said: “My son left home around 11am on motorcycle . He told us that he was going to Ajay’s house as his friend, Sarvesh, needed to buy an insurance policy of Rs1 crore.”On July 16, Ajay had called Kumar, claiming that Sarvesh was an encounter specialist with UP Police whose life was always in danger and, thus, he wanted to secure his family. That day, Kumar had noted down the details, including their numbers, on a blank form. Kumar, however, forgot the form at home while leaving for Ajay’s home on Wednesday. Around 11.30am, his sister saw the form and tried calling him, but his phone was switched off.When Kumar didn’t return home till late at night, his family started a search for him. They found his bike parked 50m from Ajay’s house. But Ajay and his friend, Sarvesh, were not at home. When Kumar’s sister called up Sarvesh at the number mentioned on the form, he admitted to having met Kumar, but claimed that he had left soon after. He said that they had come for a wedding and Ajay’s phone had conked off. Cops managed to contact Ajay on Friday and questioned him. He admitted to the murder after sustained interrogation, police said, and was arrested.Ajay claimed he and Sarvesh had killed Kumar after a scuffle. They had then packed his body in a trunk and drove to Etawah in UP where they dumped it in the river.
