A decomposed body of a 35-year-old cab owner was found inside his car outside a society in sector 108, Noida on Thursday morning. Police said the man had gone missing on Tuesday night and suspected that he was murdered around 3 days ago and then dumped here. Police said that he was working as a supervisor in a security agency.

According to the police, the deceased has been identified as Lokendra, who was found in his cab by the locals. They informed the police after they felt a foul smell emanating from the cab.

"The residents stated that the cab was lying at the spot for the last two nights with all the tyres punctured. The residents initially thought that the cab driver was sleeping inside the car. But, when they peeped inside the cab, they found the dead body. They called the police and informed about the dead body in a vehicle outside the residential society Lotus Panache in sector 108," said Arun Kumar Singh, Superintendent of Police (City).

Police said that Lokendra was hit on his head with a heavy object and that the body had started to decompose. The police sent the body for post-mortem.

"Later, it was found out that he was a resident of Surajpur and had gone out of station for the last two days. He was supposed to return on Wednesday night but when he did not return, his family members lodged a missing complaint at Surajpur police station on Thursday morning," said Singh.

According to a senior police officer, the exact motive behind the murder is unknown but it is most likely not a robbery case as the attackers did not take away his wallet or car. The family of the deceased have lodged an FIR against Ajay Sharma, who works for Lokendra as a cab driver.

"The family has named Sharma as the main suspect as he had gone with Lokendra and is currently missing. Sharma was working as a cab driver for the last 2-3 years. We are conducting search operations at various suspected locations to nab Sharma," said Singh.
