During interrogation, Tyagi, a resident of Modi Nagar confessed of another murder committed by him in June with the help of his friend Raj.
Tyagi told cops that he had murdered a Meerut based transporter, identified as Dhaniram. His body was found in the jungles of Dhantewala area near Meerut on June 21 but could not be identified. His wife had also filed a missing complaint the same day but the case remained unsolved till the confession of the duo.
It was revealed that Tyagi was in an illicit relationship with Dhaniram’s wife. On June 20, the transporter had caught Tyagi with his wife in a compromising position and threatened him of dire consequences.
He further told cops that after this incident, he, along with the transporter’s wife, decided to murder him. Tyagi called in his friend Raj and they took Dhaniram out for drinks on pretext of burying the hatchet and resolve the enmity.
