Police officers privy to the preliminary probe in the case said Imrat Singh, 54, allegedly killed Sarnam Singh, 56, following an argument after eating and drinking together. The two were friends and would often drink together. On Friday, they began drinking at 7 am and were drunk when they fought.

Deputy police commissioner (south) Atul Kumar Thakur said Imrat Singh was found at the crime scene when police reached there after being informed about smoke billowing from the basement. He said Imrat Singh initially tried to mislead them saying that he had burnt papers and cardboards to kill mosquitoes. “But he broke down when the charred body of the other guard...was found in the basement.” He said the two drank together, had chicken and partied before the murder.

Imrat Singh has been arrested and booked for murder and destruction of evidence. It was unclear yet why the two fought.
