Police said a man named Darshan had rented out adjacent rooms to Sunil and Subodh in Faidan village.

“On Wednesday morning, Sunil visited Subodh’s room for drinks, and they continued consuming liquor till late at night,” said a police official, privy to the investigation.

“Eventually, a drunk Sunil began creating ruckus in the room, which led to an argument between him and Subodh. In a fit of rage, Subodh banged the youth’s head against a wall, causing him to lose consciousness,” the police official added.

Darshan told the police that he saw Subodh taking an unconscious Sunil in an auto-rickshaw. On being questioned, Subodh claimed that they had been drinking since morning, and Sunil’s health had deteriorated.

Post midnight, a panicked Subodh called Darshan, informing him that he had killed Sunil following a quarrel, the police said.

“After making the call, Subodh switched off his phone. Sunil’s body was recovered from Mohali, and was moved to the mortuary of Government Medical College and Hospital, Sector 32. An autopsy will be conducted after his family’s arrival,” said Charanjeet Singh Virk, official spokesperson of the UT police.

Subodh was booked under Sections 302 (murder) and 201 (causing disappearance of evidence) of the Indian Penal Code at the Sector 31 police station. Police have launched a manhunt to arrest him.
