Noida, May 24 (PTI) With the arrest of two men, the Noida Police on Tuesday claimed to have cracked the murder case of a 23-year-old man who was allegedly beaten to death with a brick by unidentified assailants on May 14.
Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central Noida) Elamaran G said Abhay Tyagi, a resident of Bhangel village, was killed on the night of May 14 on a road stretch in the Phase-2 police station area.
Tyagi was walking on the road when he entered into an argument with Mohit Singh Chauhan (22) and Vivek Singh (21). Chauhan and Singh along with a third associate were on two motorcycles. The argument broke out after one motorcycle touched Tyagi, the officer said.
