Two B-Tech Engineers Arrested for the Murder of Auto Driver in Gurugram

Police have arrested two B-tech engineers in connection with the murder of a 21-year-old auto rickshaw driver in DLF Phase 3, Gurugram. The victim, identified as Sonu, was beaten to death following a dispute about moving his auto on Saturday night. An FIR has been filed at the DLF Phase 3 police station.

The arrested suspects have been identified as Jaideep, a resident of Janta Colony, Rohtak, and Mani Shankar, a native of Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh. Both are B-tech engineers who had previously worked together at the same company in Lucknow. Jaideep left his job in 2022 to open a kitchen for food delivery in Gurugram, while Mani Shankar came to Gurugram around 20 days ago after leaving his job in Bengaluru in search of new employment.

On the night of the incident, Jaideep and Mani Shankar were returning to Jaideep’s apartment after dinner when they encountered Sonu, who was visibly drunk and standing by his auto. Jaideep asked Sonu to move the auto to the side, but Sonu allegedly abused Jaideep in response. A scuffle broke out, and the two accused beat Sonu, pushing him violently. Sonu later succumbed to severe head injuries while undergoing treatment at Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi on Sunday morning.

Sonu, originally from Dholi village in Gaya district, Bihar, had been living as a tenant in Nathupur village and worked as an auto driver. Following a complaint filed by the deceased’s cousin, the police arrested Jaideep and Mani Shankar from Nathupur village.
