“From initial investigations,we suspect he was murdered due to personal enmity. However,we are probing the case from all angles,” a senior police officer said.

His family had informed the police on Sunday that Giri Raj had gone missing from his Raj Nagar colony residence in Palam area and they feared he had been kidnapped and murdered.

On Tuesday,Singh’s family members located Giri Raj’s body in the park and called the police.

A case has been registered at the Dwarka police station and the body sent for postmortem.

The victim’s son Vijay said his father had gone out on Sunday evening after receiving a call. “From his cell phone records,we found that one Pramod,a rickshaw puller,had called him. During interrogation,Pramod told the police he had made the call on the instructions of one Jai Bhagwan,who had reportedly paid him Rs 2,500,” Vijay said.

His family suspected old rivalry behind the murder,he added. “Our family has old rivals in Rajasthan,and we strongly suspect one of them is involved in the incident,” Vijay Singh added.

The police are now questioning Pramod,Jai Bhagwan and his brother Amit.

Giri Raj was a retired government official. “After his retirement,he joined his son in the property business and was assisting him for the past few years,” the police officer said.
