A similar incident occurred early last month, when 35-year-old Manoj Singh was brutally murdered with injuries inflicted on his “private parts.” Singh was a cook who catered food at a wedding in Sultanpur on February 1. On finishing work, he, along with his friend, boarded a bus to return home when he was killed and his body was thrown off a flyover in Bawana, Delhi.
