Uttar Pradesh: Missing engineer's body found, allegedly killed over financial dispute

The body of a 26-year-old engineer, who was missing since a day, was found in Ladpur village here, police said on Tuesday.

Himanshu's body with injury marks on the neck was found in a field on Monday, a day after he went missing, Circle Officer Rajiv Kumar Singh said.

The family members of the victim protested and initially refused to hand over the body for post-mortem, he said.

They were demanding immediate arrest of three men - Mohit, Subham, and Arun, accusing them of killing Himanshu over some financial dispute, Singh said.

Later the police pacified the irate family members and sent the body for post-mortem examination, the officer said.

A case has been registered against the three men who are absconding, the circle officer said.
