“He smelt of alcohol and his head was bleeding when we reached. Prima facie it seemed he was beaten to death with sticks,” said sub-inspector Dharam Singh, the investigating officer. Sunil is survived by a son, a daughter and an estranged wife.

Police said he was an alcoholic whose wife had deserted him a few months ago, due to which he was distressed. Based on his family’s complaint, a case of murder was filed against unknown persons after a post-mortem exam confirmed that he had died due to excessive bleeding.

“We handed over the body to the family and are investigating the case,” Singh added.

According to police records, over 105 people were killed in Gurgaon till Monday this year, as against 94 murders last year.

According to the police, Yadav, a 45-year-old property dealer, was killed in his house in Birhera village in Farukhnagar on November 30 as he had refused to sell a plot to Kaushal through Umesh.
