A Flipkart delivery man was murdered for a Chinese phone as the customer who had ordered it did not have money to pay for it.
. . Twenty-nine-year-old Nanjunda Swamy's throat had been slit, alle-ge-dly by 22-year-old gym trainer K Varun Kumar as he did not have Rs 11,999 for the Redmi Note 3.
.
The body was found in the lift shaft of a building in Vijayanagar where he had gone to deliver the smartphone.
. . Varun badly needed a phone after having joined the gym — some 10 days back — as all his friends and clients in the gym had one. He asked his father, a mechanic, to lend him the amount but he refused, saying he didn't have enough cash. And now that he had started working, he should fund his expenses on his own, the father is reported to have told his son.
.
. Police say that Varun then decided that killing the delivery agent would be the only way to own the phone and hatched a plot to execute it. On December 8, he ordered the phone online and gave the gym's landline number as his own.
On December 9, around 12.30 pm, Swamy called up Varun from near the building who asked him to come to the second floor. Varun, who did not have money, tried to snatch the smartphone from Swamy. The victim, however, managed to overpower Varun and ran out of the gym; the accused then hit his head with a flower pot. When Swamy fell, the accused attacked him again with another flower pot kept in the gym's passage. After the victim fell unconscious, Varun slit his throat with the knife that he had kept in the gym for the purpose.
. . Police said that after slitting the victim's throat, Varun watched him bleed to death. He dumped the body in the lift shaft only after about 10 hours.
. . "After murdering the victim around 12.45 pm, the accused hid the body inside the gym as he had difficulties in shifting it. At the time of the incident, there was nobody in the gym. When a few customers came for the evening session, Varun sent them back giving after cooking up a story. Later in the night, after the bank on the first floor and a fruit stall in the basement had shut for the night, Varun shifted the body around 11 pm to the basement. He kept the body in the lift shaft and escaped," said an officer who is part of the investigations.
