The deceased, identified as Manoj aka Babu, was a resident of Narela and worked as a cook at wedding functions. His body was discovered on February 2 after a PCR call alerted Bawana police station about an unidentified body by the roadside.

Initially, no external injuries were visible, and the body was kept at BSA Hospital's mortuary. "Manoj was identified through his brother Jitendra, who had reported him missing. At first, there were no allegations of foul play," said DCP (Outer North) Nidhin Valsan.
