Satish Singh, 35, was found dead in his car on an over-bridge in Loni area.

“There are no clues about the people who murdered him. There are several injury marks over his body. The culprits tried to burn the body by pouring diesel. Since all the window-panes were up, the fire extinguished by itself,” Additional Superintendent of Police Happy Guptan said.

Singh operated several private buses in Delhi.

“The assailants tried to burn the body to conceal his identity,” the police officer said.
