Student found dead near his college

NEW DELHI: The city woke up to two ghastly murders on Monday morning. A 22-year-old student of Netaji Subhash Institute of Technology was found murdered close to the entrance of his college and a 60-year-old woman was strangled at her Fati Khana residence.
The second year student of M Tech, Narender Pal Singh’s body was found just 200 metres from the entrance of his college around 6.30 in the morning.The victim was originally from Pilibhit in Uttar Pradesh and used to live here in the college hostel. His father is a constable with UP police.
Deputy commissioner of police (west) Satish Golcha said: ‘‘The boy was last seen when he went to see his brother off at the New Delhi railway station on Sunday night. He did not return to the hostel.’’ The victim’s brother had come to Delhi to take an engineering entrance examination.
Stab injuries were found in the victim’s body on the right side of the stomach and below the knees. His friends and college authorities, however, ruled out enmity as one of the motives. A case of murder has been registered.
In another incident, a 60-year-old woman was found strangulated to death in her residence at Fati Khana near the Hindu Rao hospital. The police said the hands of Santosh Jain were tied before she was killed. Her son, Ajay, informed the police.
