According to the police, a 45-year-old man who ran a dairy was missing since August 10 night. A missing report was registered by his nephew on August 12. But following a complaint about a stink coming from a well, a decomposed body was recovered which showed clear signs of a murder.
Accordingly, a murder case was registered under sections 302/201 IPC on August 21 in BHD Nagar police station and investigation was taken up.
On investigation, it came to notice that victim's only servant, Tasleem, a 21 year old, was also missing with motorcycle of the victim since next day without any reasonable ground.

A trap was laid near Jharoda, Delhi and Tasleem was apprehended.
During interrogation, he confessed that he had murdered Om Prakash after an argument over salary.
