"The situation in Anjan's family worsened after Deepak got married and the deceased used to have ill intentions towards his wife and one of Deepak's sisters who used to live with them. Anjan used to take all their earnings but wasn't earning himself," Ravinder Yadav further said.
DCP Crime, Delhi Police Amit Goel said that efforts were made to identify the body for which door-to-door verification was done.
