Delhi Crime News: A 22-year-old restaurant employee was murdered in Delhi over a dispute with his former employer and an alleged extramarital affair with his wife, according to police reports. The victim, identified as Sachin Kumar, worked as a waiter at a popular eatery in Connaught Place. He was stabbed to death by Hashib Khan after Khan allegedly forced his wife to invite Kumar to their home, the police added.
Hashib Khan, a 31-year-old man who operated a T-shirt manufacturing unit in Sangam Vihar, South Delhi, has been arrested along with his wife in connection with the murder. Kumar's disappearance on last Sunday prompted his family to a kidnapping case with the police, as confirmed by Deputy Commissioner of Police Devesh Kumar Mahla of New Delhi.
Kumar's call details revealed his last location in Sangam Vihar, which lead the police to focus on Hashib Khan, who had previously employed Sachin at his factory. After interrogating the couple, it was discovered that Sachin had borrowed Rs 2 lakh from Khan and was allegedly involved in an extramarital relationship with Shabina Begum.

Upon knowing about the affair, Hashib Khan allegedly forced his wife to call Sachin to their home last Sunday, where he stabbed him to death. The perpetrators then disposed the victim's body by stuffing it into their car and dumping it in a jungle area in Dasna, as revealed by the police.
Sachin's family approached police after he failed to return home and his phone was switched off. According to Sachin's brother, Mohit, who resides in Aligarh, Sachin had worked at Khan's Sangam Vihar factory for over a year but had resigned due to a financial disagreement. Mohit stated that Sachin had already repaid one lakh rupees, but the Khan couple continued to threaten him over the phone for more money.
