New Delhi: A 31-year-old HR professional, reported missing by his family after he went to Gurgaon to meet a former colleague, was allegedly murdered, police have said.
“Anya had worked with Yuvraj in 2022 at another prominent real estate developer’s office and was currently unemployed. His sister approached Lajpat Nagar police on Sept 11, following which a missing person FIR was registered.
We have learnt that some financial irregularities may have been the reason for her termination, but this is being verified,” police said. Delhi Police has arrested the former colleague, Anya Vats, and her partner Sanyam Sachdeva in connection with the alleged murder of Yuvraj Singh Manchanda. Police suspect a financial dispute to be behind the killing. Yuvraj lived with his family in Sarita Vihar. He used to work for a prominent real estate developer. She was sacked from the company. Sanyam too was unemployed, police added. Police showed the photographs of the body to Yuvraj’s family, who identified him. Anya and Sanyam were arrested and produced in court, which sent them to five days’ police custody.
Yuvraj was reported missing on Sept 6. That day, he had been to a restaurant in Lajpat Nagar-II around 4 pm. He told them that he had a meeting in Gurgaon and would return home by around 10 pm.
His family said he had gone shopping with his sisters before visiting a restaurant in K Block. Investigators analysed call detail records, internet protocol data and CCTV footage and found out that Yuvraj had last spoken to Anya and had also told his family that he was going to Gurgaon to meet her. Both Yuvraj’s and Anya’s phones were subsequently switched off, prompting investigators to now track Anya’s movements. During the investigation, Anya emerged as a prime suspect.
