Two days before he was killed at his home in Greater Noida’s Kulesara village, Dinesh Gaur, 50, had allegedly agreed to rent the third floor of his house to a couple, said police. On Wednesday, 44-year-old Imtiaz, who had taken up the third floor on rent, was arrested in the murder case. He allegedly killed Gaur after the 50-year-old “tried to force himself on his partner”, said Shakti Mohan Avasthy, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Central Noida.

“During the investigation, when the cameras around Gaur’s house were checked, it was found that Imtiaz, along with his partner, came to rent the room on Thursday. He had got acquainted with Gaur through his colleague while he worked in Gurugram,” said Avasthy.

Two days later, at around 11 pm on Saturday, Gaur, a “fake medical practitioner” who lived in Delhi with his family, came to his Greater Noida home and also brought liquor along, said Avasthy. “He then dialed up Imtiaz. He asked his partner, who answered the phone, to come with Imtiaz. As the couple reached and settled for a conversation in a single-room house on the ground floor, Gaur, who was drinking, asked Imtiaz to bring salt for the fish that he was eating. It was a trick to send Imtiaz away,” said the DCP.

According to the police, as Imtiaz left, Gaur forced himself on the woman and when she protested, the doctor allegedly pressed her mouth. “When Imtiaz returned to the room, he tried to intervene and a fight ensued between the two. Imtiaz asked his female friend to leave. Gaur had a hammer, sharp blades, and other medical equipment in the room. He took out a sharp blade and attacked Imtiaz who managed to snatch the blade, and attack Gaur in retaliation. He caught hold of a hammer under a bed and hit Gaur on his head,” said Avasthy.

The DCP added that bite marks were found on Imtiaz’s body, adding that Gaur had no medical degree and initially worked as a compounder and later began practicing as a “doctor”
