Ghaziabad, Nov 30 A differently-abled man was allegedly murdered by his friends after he objected to their casteist abuses. The accused allegedly smothered the man and stabbed him to death with a pair of scissors in Ghaziabad on November 21. Three of the accused have been arrested by the police while one is still at large. According to a report by Times Now, the victim was having a part with his friends in the Harbans Nagar area when they purportedly abused him over his caste. When he raised an objection to the same, they allegedly killed him. To erase the evidence, they reportedly put the body on a pile of garbage, covered it with fuel cakes and set it ablaze. When the victim's brothers were unable to locate him, they got worried. On Friday, the brothers - Sandip and Vishal - found a charred body in a vacant plot. They identified the clothes as their brother's and approached the police. The police launched an investigation and arrested three of the four accused. The accused have been identified as Vivek, Ravi, Sachin and Saurabh, circle officer Avinash Kumar said. Sachin has not been arrested as of now.
