According to the police, Abhay Tyagi, a resident of Bhangel under the jurisdiction of Phase 2 police station, was returning home on May 14 when he got into a fight with three men who were riding two motorcycles. Officials added that all the men involved in the fight were drunk at the time.

“Tyagi was walking on the road when he got into an argument with Mohit Singh Chauhan (22) and Vivek Singh (21) and a third man we are yet to identify because one of their motorcycles brushed against his hand. An argument broke out soon after,” said Elamaran G, additional deputy commissioner of police (Central Noida).

Tyagi picked up a concrete slap lying nearby to hit the men but they overpowered him and thrashed him to death with the same brick, he added.

Tyagi’s father gave a complaint in the matter to the police on May 15.

“When the police launched the investigation there was no clue about the culprits. However, a friend of Tyagi’s who was also inebriated at the time but watched the incident unfold from a distance, told police that he could remember half the number of one of the motorcycles,” said the ADCP.

The police then and zeroed in on the suspects and arrested them. They added that the third one is still on the run.

The two have been arrested under Section 302(murder) of the Indian Penal Code and have been sent to jail.
