Man kills friend over unnatural sex demand

NEW DELHI: A man was murdered by his friend in north Delhi's Kashmere Gate for allegedly demanding unnatural sex. The accused, 20-year-old Rajesh Kumar, has been arrested from Patna.

After receiving information about a body lying at a park on Jan 19, police found that the face was crushed probably by a heavy object. There was blood around the mouth and a notable cut was visible above the eye. The surrounding areas also had signs of blood.

The deceased was identified as Pramod Kumar Shukla, who came from Jalon in Uttar Pradesh and worked at Khoya Mandi.

"The investigation revealed that the victim was last seen with Kumar, a resident of Mori Gate. Kumar has confessed to the crime," police claimed.

Kumar told police that Shukla, in his mid-30s, used to pressure him into having unnatural sexual ties. An upset Kumar had planned to eliminate Shukla at an opportune moment. On Jan 17, they had beer at a secluded spot in the park. "Shukla then allegedly made unwanted advances. A physical altercation ensued after Kumar's refusal, leading to Shukla's death," police said.

Kumar took the money and mobile phone from Shukla's pocket. "He sold the phone for Rs 400 at a station before boarding a train to Amritsar and bought a phone with the stolen money," police said. A murder case has been registered.tnn
