A 25-year-old man was kidnapped from here and murdered by the husband and brother of a newly-married woman for harassing her through phone calls and text messages, the police said on Saturday.
The two have been arrested. Rakesh, a property dealer in west Delhi’s Uttam Nagar, was allegedly stabbed to death July 11 and his body was dumped in a drain in Noida.
The body was recovered by Uttar Pradesh police the next day. The woman’s husband Deepak and brother Ramanand, both in their mid-20s, were arrested from Noida by the Delhi police on July 12.
Deepak’s wife lived in the same neighbourhood as Rakesh before her marriage three months back. After her marriage she started living in Noida.
