Ludhiana: A 50-year-old migrant labourer was murdered at an under-construction house in Jagraon on Wednesday night. Though a fellow worker is a prime suspect in the case, Ludhiana rural police have booked an unidentified accused for the crime so far.

Gurwinder Singh, owner of the under-construction house, stayed with his family at a rented house in Mohalla Atam Nagar in Jagraon. He had bought land in the new colony and was getting a house constructed for the past one-and-a-half years.
The house owner said around 8 am on Thursday, he along with Umesh’s father Jagdish Sahu found the blood-soaked body of Umesh lying on the cot. Umesh’s co-worker was missing since the incident. tnn
