As per reports, Bharat had gone to deliver the iPhone with COD option to the customer Gajanan living in Lucknow’s Chinhat area on September 23. Gajanan did not have Rs 1.5 lakhs to pay for the phone so he strangled Bharat and taking help from his associate Akash, he put the body in a sack and dumped it in a canal.
Police had started looking for Bharat upon receiving the missing complaint filed by Bharat’s brother after the delivery boy did not return home. They nabbed Gajanan after scanning CCTV footage and location data.
