In a shocking incident that has sent ripples through the capital, a 42-year-old Delhi Jal Board employee was found brutally murdered in his Rohini residence on Tuesday. The grim discovery was made when the victim's colleagues grew concerned after he failed to report for work.
Identified as Vijay Kumar, the DJB staffer was discovered lying in a pool of blood in his first-floor apartment in Rohini's Sector 16. The scene that greeted police officials was particularly gruesome, with evidence suggesting a violent struggle had taken place before the fatal attack.

According to police sources, Kumar's absence from work raised immediate red flags among his colleagues. "When he didn't show up at the office and wasn't responding to phone calls, his coworkers decided to check on him at his residence," revealed a senior police official involved in the investigation.
Upon arriving at the flat, the colleagues made the horrifying discovery. The main door was found unlocked, and inside, Kumar's lifeless body lay in a substantial pool of blood, pointing to severe injuries sustained during the attack.

Community in Shock Over Brutal Killing
Neighbors and local residents expressed shock and disbelief over the incident. "Vijay Kumar was a quiet, respectable man who kept to himself. He had been living here for several years without any issues," shared one neighbor, who requested anonymity.
