The victim, identified as Kuldeep, had been stabbed multiple times, including on the face. According to police, Kuldeep, hailing from the Etah district in Uttar Pradesh, worked at a company in Parwanoo.

He was living on rent in Kalka with an uncle and two other youths, who have been missing since the discovery of the body.

Police said the four men had rented two rooms on the first floor of the house six months ago. The three other men also worked at the same company as Kuldeep.

As per police, on Wednesday morning, when the landlord’s daughter-in-law went to the roof to collect hanging clothes, she found one room empty and Kuldeep’s blood-soaked body lying in the other room. She immediately informed her husband and police.

Investigators said apart from stab wounds, the deceased had also sustained multiple blows to the head. Initial investigations suggest that a tawa used for making rotis and other household items were used as weapons. These items were recovered from the scene.

Police informed the victim’s family about the incident and are questioning people known to him to determine the motive for the murder. A case was registered under the relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).

Police are actively searching for the victim’s missing roommates and are also preparing to examine his mobile call records.
