Police identified the deceased as Indra and Sheespal, both in their mid-40s and residents of Meerut. They came to Greater Noida for work with an acquaintance about two days ago. Police said the third man was seen leaving the building the night before, and is currently absconding.

Additional commissioner of police of Gautam Budh Nagar (law and order), Rajeev Narayan Mishra, said the incident was reported by the institute’s security guard around 9am on Friday and a murder case was registered at Knowledge Park police station.
